Pasta is a tasty and filling, but unfortunately, rather “heavy” side dish.

Eating this dish increases the load on the gastrointestinal tract.

Negative consequences make themselves known even if the pasta is made from durum wheat.

However, if you consume the product in moderation and not very often, there will be no problems.

Bad news for lovers of spaghetti, horns, noodles and other types of pasta: side dishes of this type are completely unsuitable for everyday consumption.

You shouldn't eat pasta even "every other day."

How often can you eat pasta

You can eat pasta only 1-2 times a week.

More frequent consumption of such food can lead to serious gastrointestinal problems.

So don't indulge yourself with pasta too often. Remember that there are other tasty side dishes: buckwheat, rice porridge, potatoes, mashed potatoes, etc.

How to Cook and Eat Pasta Properly

We have figured out the optimal frequency of product consumption.

Now let's talk about proper cooking. It is advisable to slightly undercook pasta: the "al dente" state makes the dish as healthy as possible.

In addition, pasta should be properly combined with other products. Eat side dishes with fatty meat, sausages and sauce less often. Use additives such as vegetables, seafood and lean meat more often.

For reference

Macaroni is a pasta product in the form of tubes of different diameters and lengths.
