This fresh red lentil pasta turns to a stunning orange shade when cooked (yes, it does look like a work of art when dressed with pesto, believe me). It’s also a slightly sweet, subtle, and adaptable flavor that cooks in just two minutes. Because this gluten-free option is fresh and not dried, it has a fridge shelf life of 5 days, but if you need it to stick around for longer you can freeze it. No need to defrost before cooking. It can be added directly into the pot. 

If you’re looking for fresh pasta made in the Italian tradition, try RP’s Pasta, made in Madison. It also offers gluten-free pasta, formerly sold under the RP’s name but now under a separate Taste Republic brand name.

“We sell 27 different pastas under RP’s and then Taste Republic, 14,” said marketing director Andy Allcock, for a total of 41 types. “We make delicious pasta for the whole family, and it’s sold in the refrigerator and frozen section of stores and online.”

The National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show announced the 2022 recipients of the Food and Beverage (FABI) Awards, which recognize companies for developing extraordinary food and beverage products that are leading the way in new tastes, flavor profiles, creativity and their potential to boost sales.

A decade ago, the gluten-free pasta options stocked on grocery store shelves were slim pickings. If you craved a big bowl of macaroni and cheese but were allergic or sensitive to gluten, you were out of luck. But now when you take a stroll down the pasta aisle, the gluten-free pasta options almost rival the number of different types of pasta shapes.

Pasta filled with ooey gooey vegan cheese? We want in! That is exactly what you can expect from this vegan-friendly brand. The Taste Republic Plant-Based Cheese Ravioli is ready in minutes, making it a perfect meal starter. Additionally, this vegan ravioli is also gluten-free. You know we love an inclusive find.

Taste Republic continues to push what's possible for gluten-free pastas with the introduction of "Plant-Based Sausage Ravioli," featuring plant-based Beyond Sausage^® Italian Crumbles from Beyond Meat® and Wisconsincheese.

With the vision that food with clean, simple ingredients deserves a clean, simple design, Taste Republic recently launched fresh brand identity and that puts the focus on what they do best: Gluten-Free and Grain-Free Pasta. The new look reflects Taste Republic’s mission to revolutionize gluten-free food as part of their efforts to help build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

“We built this company on the belief that everyone deserves good food, regardless of food allergies or lifestyle, and we wanted to ensure our branding reflected that,” said Peter Robertson, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of both Taste Republic and RP’s Pasta. “We tested a variety of new packaging versus our old look, and this was a resounding winner amongst consumers.”

The clean, simple logo now features a bird, representing the company’s mission to liberate all from a taste and texture tradeoff when eating gluten-free food. A nod to Taste Republic’s commitment to transparency as a Certified B Corp, the new streamlined package offers more clear, simplified labelling so consumers can quickly identify the pastas that suit their dietary needs, values, and lifestyle.

Taste Republic, a revolutionary new gluten-free brand, is set to land on supermarket shelves in early spring. Born in the kitchen of RP's Pasta Company, Taste Republic will first focus exclusively on gluten-free pasta varieties and include innovative additions such
as the NEXTY Awards finalist Taste Republic Plantain Linguini.
