You don't. Pasta is a concentrated carbohydrate, which is why it's what many performance athletes consume to bulk up (put on weight) before competition.

The main problem with pasta is that in order to lose weight, you have to consume so little of it that you'll most likely be hungry throughout the day. And because it's primarily carbohydrates, any of it that isn't burned by your body right away will become fat.

And the main problem with trying to lose weight too fast is that you're almost certainly forcing your body to cannibalize itself: rather than releasing stored fat, you enter a 'starvation mode' in which your metabolism slows down, and your body attempts to burn off muscle while holding on to that 'emergency' fat.

The rule of thumb is that to lose even 2 lbs. (1 kg.) per week, you have to eat approximately 1,000 fewer calories per daythan you expend in exercise and activities. Trying to lose weight even faster puts you dangerously close to a starvation diet, no matter what your food of choice happens to be.
