As we know PASTA  is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine.  It is a "MOOD FOOD".  Pasta is perfect in its simplicity and healthfulness. It is Loved in any form. With tomato sauce, garlic sauce, salad, with cheese , without cheese. So apart from taste lets check out some benefits of Pasta.

Healthy-Unhealthy PASTA:-

In market there are various kinds of pasta available made from different flour. Now Pasta which is unhealthy is made from White Flour ( refined flour/ maida). This refined flour Pasta increases Blood Sugar which leads to many health problems. Majorly Weight Gain , Diabetes etc.

But Pasta which is Healthy is made from Whole-Grain. Durum Wheat Pasta is easily available and considered as one of the best pasta. This contains more fiber which do not increase the sugar level. It is not high in Calories.1 cup of Pasta contains approximately 210 Calories. But because of its taste we tend to eat more than a cup. 

Drawbacks:-

Usually Pasta is topped with high-fatty rich sauces, Full of Cheese,butter, cream which makes it heavy. And thus increases Calorie content.

PASTA is a versatile food. It can be cooked with any combination. You can toss it with simple vegetables, chicken or can serve it in the form of salads.

Healthy Sauces:-

The following are ideas for creating tasty low-calorie dishes:-

•  Use less oil, cheese, cream and nuts for making a Pesto Sauce. ( Reduce quantity to half)
• Add beans or some lentils to create a high protien meal.
