Those who are looking for a gluten-free alternative to their favorite pasta may want to head to Costco to pick up some of the Taste Republic Cauliflower Linguini.
Taste Republic’s Cauliflower Linguini is a low-carb, gluten-free pasta substitute. Just as the name suggests, the product consists of long, linguini-style noodles. But instead of flour, the noodles are made from a healthy blend of Cauliflower Powder, Water, Potato Starch, Tapioca Starch, Eggs, and more. As the brand explains in the product description: "By incorporating cauliflower this pasta has added nutrients like fiber, antioxidants and vitamins B and C that will stand up to fork twirls and sauces aplenty." Best of all, the noodles cook al dente in just two to three minutes.
