Vomitsghetti anyone?

From www.glutenfreemall.com

The first thing you notice when you go gluten free is that there is no more make-a-quick-sandwich-to-take-to-work. You have to put so much thought into your food to ensure it tastes good when you make and it still tastes good the day after. For example, this is not the case with pasta. Even if it's al dente the night you eat it, it magically turns into mush overnight. Therefore, one of the things I miss besides convenience is consistently tasty pasta.

The day I saw the "Organ Canned Gluten-Free Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce", I squealed with joy. It was just like back in the day when Mom would by us Chef Boyardees! (I know they're so bad for you, but they taste SO good). So, this morning in my usual flight, I grabbed my can of spaghetti, threw it in my purse, and felt like a normal person...until lunchtime.

The can is extremely small and pricey. I paid approx $3 for 7.7 oz. I poured my meager contents into a bowl and heated it up, waiting to eat my yummy spaghetti-o's. The spaghetti is actually just cut up, long spaghetti, so it looks like you're getting a nice portion. However, I could have finished this in a few bites, if I could have gotten through it at all.


My first bite was so-so. It was so hot I was savoring the surprisingly thin and sweet tomato sauce. Not too shabby! The next bite was much more disappointing. The pasta is too al dente and mixed with the super thin sauce, it makes you feel like you're going to choke because the pasta just slides right in there with little time to actually chew. I took a few more small bites and the texture just got worse as the spaghetti got cooler. Even my coworker commented on the rip off that it looked like, and in my naivety I defended the can. But, this is one product I won't buy again.
