IS PASTA HEALTHY?

YES. Not only is pasta a cheap cupboard staple, but it can be part of a healthy diet too, as long as it's eaten in moderation.
Plus, If you switch towhole grain pasta you'll get more natural fiber and micronutrients than white pasta.
Fiber is an important part of your diet, it helps control blood sugar and reduces appetite.

WHAT'S THE BEST PASTA?

When you chose pasta, have a proper look at the label and go for durum wheat semolina pasta,possibly made with brass or bronze dies. Needless to say, cook it until al dente!

The premium quality pasta is a bit more expensive than basic pasta, but it's resilient, it has a more robust texture and holds sauces beautifully. Yes, brands matter, and even if you cook on a budget or you're short on time, you deserve a delicious bowl of pasta packed with flavor!
