Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free rotini according to package directions until tender with no chalky center, about 8ā10 minutes. Drain through a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.
