Slow release energy foods are complex carbs ie grains/veg/ - containing vitamins and minerals which are good for your health. Glucose from these are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles as a reservoir to provide you with energy when you need it. Too much turns to fat.

Quick release energy foods are mainly sugars- sweet foods not nutritionally very useful. These are glucose that is absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly and used up quickly - which is why you can suddenly get a drop in glucose levels.

A good balance of both is good. So quick release gives quick energy & slow release energy is stored (& important as nutrition source for body functions)

Does pasta in lasagna give you energy?

Pasta does not give you quick energy. Pasta is made up of complex carbohydrates that provide slow-release energy. However, it is important to note that while pasta may be low in sources of quick energy, there is a significant amount of sugar in spaghetti sauce. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, which means it provides quick energy. Assuming "spaghetti" is a combination of both pasta and spaghetti sauce, I would say it is a source of both quick and slow-releasing energy.
