What are the best/healthiest ways to eat pasta?
A. Pasta is best when served with healthy accompaniments such as vegetables, fish, lean cuts of poultry and meat, tomato sauce, legumes, and olive oil. These ingredients are traditional foods of the Mediterranean Diet, which has been proven to foster long and vibrant life in many Mediterranean countries. Creamy sauces and other ingredients high in saturated fat can significantly detract from the healthfulness of a pasta meal — so it’s important to be mindful of what you’re pairing with your pasta.
