    Hi There,<br />I wanted to know what i can use instead of pasta in this dish? Does alternative pasta that do not contain wheat product work as well? Any ideas?<br /><br />Hi Lovisa! I have not tried an alternative pasta in this particular dish but have used them many times in place of wheat pasta in other casseroles and they hold up and taste just fine. I particularly like the brown rice pastas from Tinkyada and Lundberg Farms. They used to only be available at stores like Whole Foods, but now both brands are being carried by my local supermarket.<br /><br />Hope this helps! <br />Linda

    Yes this helps. Any alternative pasta that holds it shape should do. I was also thinking of possibly using quinoa. I will stick with alternative pasta to cut wheat consumption. I will check to see what our local supermarket carries as we have 4 different chains of stores within a 3-5 mile radius from our house here in Northern VA.<br /><br />Hi Lovisa,<br />Yes, I think the alternative pastas should work out fine and I'm happy to hear you have several stores near your house where you can find these products. Enjoy!
