I can recommend a pasta available here in Western Canada...
It's brown rice with added rice bran...
It cooks up to be superior to semolina pasta in my book...
It has more 'body' without any overpowering flavours...
Brand name in Tinkyada, I believe...
A bit pricey, but well worth it...
It does not raise my glucose levels like semolina pasta does...
