10,000 of you! Wow!!

I wrote down the idea for Ugly Noodle in 2014. I drew a photo of a food truck that would sell Kluski noodles and my favorite sauces.

Fast forward to 2021, I still remember posting about reaching 100 followers (before we even opened the farmers market shop!). These bigger milestones are the ones we dreamed we would see when this all started, but we could not have imagined just how special it feels to have so many of you with us.

Every like, comment, share, and order has meant so much to us. Some of you have been here since the 100 followers post. Some of you just found us last week. Either way, you’ve made this little gluten free corner of the internet feel like a community, and that’s the part we’re proudest of.

Thank you for supporting our small business. Thank you for cheering us on when things are hard and celebrating with us when they go well. We don’t take a single one of you for granted.

We’re still growing, and still so grateful to be doing this with you. Here’s to what comes next! Swipe to the end to see the notebook that started it all 🫶🍝

With all our love and gluten free pasta,
The Ugly Noodle Team

You found it, the perfect gluten free pasta. If you’re missing the taste and texture of “real” pasta, Ugly Noodle makes sorghum and rice pasta using traditional bronze dies and only certified gluten free ingredients.

Most store-bought gluten free pasta is dehydrated fast. It turns gummy, falls apart or doesn’t taste good. Our pasta is dried slow, like real Italian wheat pasta, and made with rice and sorghum for that perfect flavor and al dente chew. 🍝

This isn’t just “pretty good for gluten-free.” it’s just really good pasta.

Seeing the words “gluten-free friendly” menu... ✋

Here’s the thing: “gluten-free friendly” is not the same as a dedicated gluten-free kitchen.

“Friendly” can mean a shared prep space, shared fryers, shared knives, and a server saying “we’ll do our best.” If you have celiac or a gluten sensitivity, that’s a gamble every time.

Ugly Noodle is dedicated gluten-free, zero wheat in the building. Our menu exists so you can relax when you order. No scanning every ingredient. No crossing your fingers.

🥟 How we make our gluten-free pierogies from scratch, EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

Most people don’t realize this: our gluten-free pierogi dough is actually the SAME dough we use for our ravioli. Just a couple tweaks to get it to fold right.

Here’s the thing about gluten-free flour, it does not want to stretch or fold like wheat doughs. That’s always #1 challenge. Once we crack that (pun intended), here’s the process:

🍝 Roll the dough to the same thickness as our ravioli ⭕ Cut discs with a 2.5-3” circle cutter
🥟 Fill, then clamp shut with our pierogi cutter (trust the process)
✂️ Pull off the excess, check every edge for cracks

No compromises. No “close enough.” Just really good gluten-free pierogies, made the hard way, every week.
