Pasta Noodles
Whether you're a fan of the classic weeknight spaghetti and meatballs or you prefer more intricate recipes, there are plenty of great reasons to make pasta a part of your healthy meal plan.
All pasta is going to provide nutrients, including carbohydrates (one of our body's main sources of energy), as well as fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Most of the pasta youโll find in the grocery store is refined pasta, meaning itโs made from grains that have had parts of the wheat kernel removed. This kind of pasta is also typically enriched, meaning it has B vitamins and iron added back in.
Refined pasta is going to be a little higher in calories and carbs, but it is also higher in B vitamins (than whole grain pasta.
If you love pasta, there is no reason to cut it out from your diet, the experts say. It can be a terrific way to pack in vegetables, healthy fats from nuts, olive oil and pasta sauces.
