Among those trying to lose weight, pasta has been given a rather unpleasant nickname – those on a diet often call it the enemy of slimness.
The main mistake of all adherents of healthy eating is that they simply do not know what to combine this product with.
It turns out that there are additives that make pasta much healthier and, just as importantly, tastier.
Try serving pasta with vegetables: spaghetti and horns create a harmonious combination in tandem with tomatoes, broccoli and sweet peppers.
To bring out the flavor and texture of the vegetables, it's a good idea to lightly fry them first.
Of course, you can splash on some sauce, but the main thing is that it is light and the vegetables still take the leading position on your plate.
Another equally magnificent addition is mushrooms fried with onions.
Not only champignons, which are available all year round, but also seasonal gifts of the forest, such as chanterelles, etc., go well with pasta.
Seafood is the last item on this list.
They can be anything - squid, shrimp and mussels go well with pasta.
Since they contain a large amount of protein and healthy fats, they will be an excellent “pair” for a source of carbohydrates.
Finally, let us remind you: if you want to “maintain your position” on the scale, choose the right pasta – those made from durum wheat.
