Five-star pasta!
Economical and nutritious, pasta can be used in every which way: in soups, combined with meat, poultry, seafood or vegetables. Boiled in salted water or broth, sautéed or oven-baked, we enjoy them with cream, tomato sauce or au gratin. Served hot or cold, they are ideal for the lunch box because they are easy to reheat.
Is pasta fattening?
Pasta is no more fattening than any other food as long as portion sizes are reasonable and sauces not too rich.
One portion of 250 ml (1 cup) of cut macaroni contains 210 calories, the equivalent of three slices of white bread.
