Tried Tesco’s new Finest Free From Linguine, and I have to say, it wasn’t too bad at all! Paired it with Co-op’s Italian Menu Carbonara Sauce, then topped it off with some Parmesan and Pancetta.
The pasta itself was impressive—far better than their usual spaghetti, which falls apart if you so much as look at it wrong. That said, like 99% of all gluten-free pasta, you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll break apart. I cooked it for eleven minutes, as per the instructions, and cooking it for the full twelve would have been a disaster as it was just starting to fall apart. 🍝
In conclusion, this is a major leap forward from their standard range. The texture and taste are a significant improvement, with a perfect thickness that delivers a delightful bite every time—as long as you keep an eye on the cooking time. I would suggest reducing the timing by about 30 seconds to 1 minute for a perfect cook.
