    My husband (B) has Celiac Disease (diagnosed last summer- boo). I was wondering if you any have suggestions for a good G-Free Pasta to use for your mac and cheese? I have found a great G-Free Flour mix that works great as a thickener. G free pastas are hard to find for certain recipes. I have found Barilla has a great gluten free spaghetti pasta that tastes great for my regular spaghetti and greek styles, but I want a different type of pasta for this recipe of yours!

      There are a couple gluten free pasta options.
      1. I prefer Barilla (brand) with corn and rice. I feel like when you boil the corn and rice made pasta it holds up like traditional pasta. The biggest factor is not overcooking the gluten free noodles.
      2. Bionature (brand) has some good options that are made with rice, potato, and soy. If the Barilla brand isn’t available then I would try this.

      Flour options
      1. Bob’s RedMill is a great gluten free brand. I’ve used their all purpose baking flour and rice flour
      2. King Arthur Flour is another great gluten free brand. Again their multipurpose flour and rice flour seems to do the trick!

      My final words of advice…if your grocery store doesn’t sell these items use and order gluten free items from there
