Ancient Harvest Quinoa Pasta is a delicious blend of non-gmo corn flour and organic quinoa flour.


Just add Supergrain Pasta to boiling water (if desired add a little sea salt and olive oil to the water). Return to a rapid boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally for 6-9 minutes or until done. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Drain well and serve with your favorite sauce or use one of the recipes listed below.

                          Energy Saving Cooking Method for Pasta

Try this method sent to us by one of our customers: Put a little olive oil in the water, then bring the water to a full boil and add the pasta. Rather than boiling the pasta for the full length of time specified on the box, boil it for only one minute, then turn off the heat, place a lid on the pan and wait 6 - 10 minutes until the pasta is plump and perfectly tender.
