Question by Cesaria Barbarossa – 40K: Is this pasta healthy?
OK, so i’m using Barilla plus pasta and adding either extra lean ground beef (97/3) or a similarly lean turkey. Low carb/fat garlic bread and Classico tomato sauce.

Is this a pretty healthy meal?
It’s made with golden semolina and wholesome flaxseed, spelt, oats, barley and legumes. And you’re right, portion control. My husband’s biggest vice right now but we’re working on it!

Measure it out to make sure you’re not consuming a huge portion (pasta portions in restaurants are generally 3 times the size you’re supposed to have). If it’s whole wheat pasta, that’s good.
