Dream - Pasta consists of various types, such as pappardelle, fettuccine, and so on. Usually, pasta is made from wheat flour, but there are also some made from wheat or red rice. So, it contains carbohydrates, protein, and fat in certain amounts. For example, pasta made from wheat flour usually has around 25 grams of carbohydrates, 5 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat. Here are some tips to make the pasta you cook healthier, suitable for those who are currently on a diet!

Now about sauce, try making it yourself! Packaged sauces usually have more calories, sugar, and unhealthy ingredients. By making your own sauce, you can control the amount of salt, sugar, and fat.

If you like using cheese, try low-calorie ones like parmesan, mozzarella, ricotta, or feta. Still delicious, but healthier. And don't forget to add plenty of vegetables like broccoli, tomatoes, carrots, or bell peppers. Vegetables make the pasta more nutritious and provide a fresh texture.

Add protein as well, such as chicken meat, salmon, or shrimp. Protein makes you feel fuller for longer and helps with weight loss. But remember to control your portion size, around 1-1.5 cups of cooked pasta per serving. Don't eat too much pasta, it's better to add vegetables and lean protein.
