No More Pasta!

Somebody says that Pasta is good for you, somebody says that Pasta makes you fat, somebody even says that all kinds of wheat is bad for you. We believe that no food is 100% good for you. We believe that you need to eat both small portions and a larger variety of food. Therefore we believe that you can have also some Pasta with moderation in your diet. 

When I was a kid growing up in Italy, we rarely didn't have a plate of Pasta every single day of the week. There was a kind of Pasta for every day. For example, usually on Mondays we had left over Pasta from Sundays, on Tuesdays Pasta with legumes, on Wednesdays Pasta with vegetables, on Thursdays we had Pasta with red sauce, on Fridays Pasta with fish, on Saturdays we used to have Pasta in vegetable or meat broth, on Sundays big Pasta with ragu` sauce that cooked for hours. The funny thing is that every shape of pasta is meant for a particular kind of sauce.

As you can imagine Pasta is not a nutritionally complete dish, mainly carbohydrates. Therefore Pasta needs to be accompanied with a second dish such as legumes, meat, vegetables and fish. To avoid making several dishes, you can put the second dish together with Pasta, making all in one nutritionally balanced dish.

Buon appetito!
