Are you a pasta lover? The possibilities with pasta are endless and when you practice portion control there’s no reason not to allow pasta in your diet. Use a whole wheat pasta when possible. What will you cook tonight?

Spaghetti (use a whole wheat pasta or a bean/lentil pasta)
Noodle Casserole (easy to make with whatever is in your pantry)
Healthy Pasta Salad (load it up with vegetables and a light dressing)
Pasta Skillet Meals (pasta, sauteed vegetables, and meat)
Veggie and Meat Lasagna

Lighter option: swap out the pasta for spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles (zoodles)
