Madeline's pasta and noodles collection focuses on specialty and gluten-free pasta from independent makers such as Pasta Gustosa, built on clean, single- and ancient-grain recipes. The range includes 100% rice, brown rice, corn and rice, buckwheat, teff, and multigrain pastas in shapes from spaghetti to fusilli and tubetti, many certified organic. These are good options for gluten-free, allergy-friendly, and whole-grain cooking. Whether you need a neutral gluten-free everyday pasta or a nuttier ancient-grain shape, you can shop by grain and shape here.

How to choose

  • Pick your grain. Rice and corn pastas are neutral and mild; brown rice, buckwheat, and teff are nuttier and higher in fiber.
  • Gluten-free needs. Single-ingredient rice and buckwheat pastas are naturally gluten-free; check the label if you have celiac disease or a strict requirement.
  • Match shape to sauce. Long shapes like spaghetti suit oil and light sauces; short ridged shapes like fusilli and sedanini hold chunky and creamy sauces well.
  • Consider texture. Whole-grain pastas have more chew and flavor; refined rice and corn pastas cook lighter and softer.
  • Watch the cooking time. Gluten-free pastas can overcook quickly; follow the package timing and taste early.

Frequently asked questions

Is all the pasta here gluten-free? Much of the collection is gluten-free, including the single-ingredient rice and buckwheat pastas. Always check the individual product label if you have celiac disease or a serious gluten allergy.

How do I keep gluten-free pasta from getting mushy? Use plenty of boiling water, stir at the start, and begin tasting a minute or two before the suggested time. Drain promptly and rinse only if the recipe calls for it.

What is the difference between rice pasta and buckwheat pasta? Rice pasta is light and neutral, making it a versatile everyday option, while buckwheat pasta is earthier and nuttier with more flavor of its own. Despite its name, buckwheat is naturally gluten-free.

Which pasta shape works best with my sauce? Long strands pair with smooth or oil-based sauces, while short, ridged, or tubular shapes catch chunky, meaty, or creamy sauces. Match the shape to how much sauce you want it to hold.
