Recently diagnosed as gluten-intolerant, lifelong pasta enthusiast Tumi Morake was utterly bereft until she discovered some unexpected alternatives
There are few things in life you can take away from me and leave me feeling like my soul has been torn out. Pasta is high on that list. It is my happy food. (No hun, I don’t make my own pasta – I’ve been in a committed relationship with Fatti’s and Moni’s since coming of age.) So, the world came to a grinding halt when, mid-pandemic, my doctor told me that my body was gluten intolerant.
A glass of vino, a steaming bowl of pasta – with or without meat – that’s my winter vibe. Any meeting or get-together at an eatery has to be at a place that serves Italian food. Pasta is the Italian stallion that comforts my freezing bones and holds my tummy in a warm embrace. Throw a basil pesto in there and I’m all yours.
