One of the big problems that we have with the consumption of pasta is the custom that we have of accompanying them with sauces, in addition to the fact that traditional pasta is made with refined wheat flour. This does not mean that we have to put the pasta aside in our diet, we just have to go a little further and look for pasta based on whole grains.
You can find these most special wholemeal pasta in any herbalist.
Regarding sauces, we will have to avoid those that are already prepared and make healthier options ourselves.
The recipe is very simple and fast, it is kept superbly in the fridge. We go with the ingredients:
Ingredients
