Is pasta a helathy meal?
That would depend on the type of pasta you use, but more specifically also on the type of sauce you eat with the pasta. Wholewheat pastas and pasta made with the addition of vegetables like spinach is better than just plain white pasta. Also, pasta made from spelt or millet flour is also healthier. And then in terms of the sauce you eat with pasta, vegetable-based sauces and low-fat sauces is going to be healthier than meat-based or sauces with lots of cream and added fat.
