Corn pasta is pasta that has been made from ground corn. It is usually offered as a gluten-free alternative to regular pasta, for people who are intolerant or sensitive to gluten. However, some people simply use corn pasta because they enjoy the flavor and texture. Health food stores sometimes carry corn pasta, as do major markets which have a gluten-free section. For people who are concerned about gluten in food, it is a good idea to read packages carefully to ensure that they are purchasing a gluten-free product.
