My husband is celiac and I also have been cooking for special diets for a few years now.
I know B'sGirl knows this, but just for information purposes there are several options for those that can't eat wheat pasta.
There are the Asian rice noodles; however, gluten free companies also make rice noodles that are similar to regular noodles - macaroni, spaghetti, linguine, penne, lasagna, etc. They take getting used to, but when it is all you can have, you certainly acquire a taste, and some brands are better than others. You can also get corn pasta and other gluten free grains.
So the noodle is not the problem, it is just what to put on it and when you have a little boy who can't have wheat or dairy, it becomes a challenge.
