Despite being tasty and loved by many, pasta is still known as the villain of diets. Because it is a source of carbohydrate, it is almost always excluded from the meals of those who want to lose weight. “Nutrition science has been proving that excluding pasta from the diet is a big mistake. A quality pasta, when accompanied by vegetables and healthy fats, such as oil, oilseeds or avocado, form a balanced, healthy dish, full of density and nutritious”, says nutritionist Alessandra Luglio, from São Paulo. When preparing, opt for dry pasta of the “grain durum” type, traditional or wholegrain version, which are the richest in protein and fiber. In addition, you can also create creative dishes that use vegetables as a base.
