Happy National Pasta Day! 🍝 Pasta is a quick, affordable, and comforting and can definitely be part of a healthy diet. If you would like to make your pasta dishes more nutritious and filling, we have some easy tips for you!

-Use whole grains, like whole wheat, chickpea, brown rice, or buckwheat pasta.
-Add veggies for fiber, vitamins, and micronutrients.
-Use lean proteins instead of higher-fat red meat. Options include chicken, ground turkey, shrimp, cannellini beans, lentils, and peas.
-Swap out heavy cream for a lower-fat alternative, like cottage cheese (blend into your sauce to remove chunks), greek yogurt, 2% or skim milk, or cashew cream.
-Use a low-sodium sauce. Add more flavor with fresh herbs, garlic, onion, red pepper flakes, or tomato paste.
