Notes

• Gluten-free pasta can be found at most supermarkets or health food stores. The pasta packet will be clearly labeled as gluten-free.
• Gluten-free pasta can go from being undercooked to overcooked in the blink of an eye so keep testing your pasta as it cooks to avoid soggy, waterlogged pasta.
