Whenever you cook with GF pastas, it's important to COOL IMMEDIATELY when it's al dente to prevent it from overcooking and falling apart to mush. This is a different technique than cooking with wheat-based pastas, but pastas that are rice-based have to be managed differently, for good reason. It doesn't have to be cold, but you do have to drop it below the cooking temperature, so drain it and return it to the pan and fill the pan with lukewarm tap water. The heat from the pan will keep it at a good serving temperature, but the lukewarm tap water will cool the pasta below cooking temperature to keep it from breaking down.

In fairness, this product doesn't hold up as well as Pastariso or Tinkyada brands do for a GF pasta, though. Much better pasta is available from Mrs. Leepers and Tinkyada. Mrs. Leepers is more like what you'd expect for taste and texture from a wheat pasta, but it's so thin, it can fall apart easily, too. Tinkyada holds up well, cooks up al dente every time, and doesn't have any funny taste. Tinkyada is the favorite for our family and friends who don't have to avoid gluten. This De Boles pasta has a really weird aftertaste. Even if you cook it per instructions and run cold water over it immediately, it falls apart. It doesn't hold up for twirling onto a fork.

Whenever a friend contacts me to get info to help someone newly diagnosed who needs gluten free foods (whether it's for celiac, gluten intolerance, wheat allergy, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, ADHD, autism, leaky gut, or brain function), I always provide them with a care package of some of these:
