When one has food allergies, you miss out on a lot of delicious food. I suppose that if one is born with these food allergies, you might not know what you're missing, but since I developed multiple food allergies, I knew full well what favorite foods I was missing. With a gluten allergy, pasta was at or near the top of the list. I've tried several brands, but Ronzoni is by far the best, IMHO. Most have a horrible texture, but I would rate Ronzoni penne' and thin spaghetti at 5 stars, for sure, and their rotini at 4 stars. I first found Ronzoni brand at "The World's Largest Retailer" (self-proclaimed), but they stopped carrying it. I was so happy to find that Amazon carries it! One negative, in multiple occasions, the seller has shipped it in a poly-bag, which seems ridiculous for shipping pasta. The last time this happened, I contacted customer service and was given a full refund. My last order was shipped in a cardboard box, so hopefully that has been worked out. I will continue to order this pasta unless it gets crazy expensive.
