Let them eat pasta!
One of my first thoughts after our daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2009 was: “What about pasta!?!” She loved her noodles, and so did I! The day after her diagnosis, we cleaned out our pantry and got rid of every single product that contained gluten. We felt it would be safer for her and easier for us all if our whole house was gluten free. In those first few gluten-free years, we ate rice pasta, which often wound up a goopy mess on the plate and just didn’t taste like the pasta I knew and loved. I was ready to kiss pasta goodbye. And then we discovered Italpasta gluten-free pasta. Certified by Canada’s Gluten Free Certification Program (GFCP), Italpasta’s GF penne, fusilli and spaghetti are made from a blend of rice and non-GMO corn. The texture is bang on and you’d never know it’s gluten free. It is now our family’s go-to gluten-free pasta—and, believe me, we’ve tried them all!
Italpasta has been a huge supporter of Gluten Free Garage over the years. Here’s the team at our last pop-up, from left: Chef Gianni Ceschia, Laura Dal Bo and Perry Battista.
The Italpasta booth at Gluten Free Garage always has a lineup of people waiting to get their hands on whatever delicious dish Chef Gianni is making onsite. It’s a gluten-free pasta lover’s dream come true!

“We are very pleased to once again join Gluten Free Garage on May 1st as a lead sponsor,” says Frank DeMichino, COO of Italpasta Limited. “It has grown to become not only a must-visit community event but also a rich resource for the gluten-free community. Given that a significant number of Canadians are affected by celiac disease, we are pleased to offer a gluten-free pasta without sacrificing good taste or quality.”
And that they do. Grazie, Italpasta.
