Have you tried the new wholegrain pastas? They’re supposed to be super-good for you, with nutrients such as “folate, vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, selenium, lignans, and phenolic compounds.” They’re also loaded with fiber, which helps reduce you lose weight and reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes to name just a few.
Now, I admit that I’ve tried many wholegrain pastas over the years and have never found one I liked. Just a few weeks ago I tried a local supermarket brand of spaghetti, thinking how bad can spaghetti be? Turns out: very bad. My family whined about the awful meal (and rightfully so) and weren’t in the least happy about the fact that I was “trying to make them healthy.”
But this article mentions four pastas that are actually very good. I’ve since tried the Barilla Plus myself and can attest that it is GREAT. So I would recommend it.
Do you have a great wholegrain pasta you love? Give us a recommendation!

I like whole wheat pasta. Maybe it’s just because I know how bad the other stuff is for me. :) I’ve usually just bought what I could find, so I haven’t been picky. Just cook it a little longer, and think about how healthy I’m going to be while I chew. ;)
