Gluten-Free Shells

Gluten-Free Shells

EverydayDry

Gluten-free shells are a pasta alternative made from grains like rice, corn, or quinoa, designed for those avoiding wheat or managing celiac disease. These shell-shaped pieces maintain a slightly firmer texture than traditional semolina pasta when cooked, while retaining the ability to hold sauces effectively. Though nutritionally similar to regular pasta in carbohydrate content, they typically lack gluten-derived protein unless fortified with additional ingredients.
