It is generally believed that pasta is fattening and unhealthy, however, it is not a justified assessment. It is a source of complex carbohydrates that are digested by a human body for a long time. Therefore, after eating a plate of spaghetti we feel satiated longer and our body burns more energy in the process of digesting a meal. In addition, pasta is not caloric at all but is often served with quite heavy ingredients, for example meat or fatty cheeses. However, if we replace them with fresh vegetables and herbs we can be sure that we will make a light and nutritious meal.
