Pasta doesn’t have to be heavy. Try any of these healthy pasta recipes filled with vegetables, lean meats, and light sauces!
Love Us Some healthy pasta dishes!
Is there such a thing as a healthy pasta recipe?
It really all depends on what type of diet you typically follow. There are many healthy pasta dishes out there that have good nutritional value.
We love pasta and have it for dinner at least once a week. Pasta dishes are simple and feed a crowd! To keep it on the lighter side, we have a few favorite alterations. Whole wheat pasta is a great substitute for standard white pasta. You can easily use noodles made from alternative ingredients such as zucchini and spaghetti squash.
The lower calories often come from the sauces and mixins. Lastly, incorporating a leaner choice of meat makes for a healthier pasta!
Filling and delicious, these healthy pasta recipes are sure to be a hit!
