Is Pasta Good for Your Health?

• Pasta is made from refined wheat flour or durum
  wheat semolina that contains a good amount of
  fiber and some protein. If you break it down
  further, it has healthy mineral content which
  includes calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
  Whole-grain or whole wheat pasta contains almost
  twice as much fiber as compared to your regular
  white pasta. Hence, whole wheat pasta will be a
  better choice for many as it is low in calories
  and carbs but higher in fiber and nutrients. To
  make it even healthier you can also add your
  choice of protein or veggies to your pasta.
• Starchy foods, such as pasta, can be part of a
  healthy diet for people with diabetes. For a
  healthy option, it is recommended to opt for
  whole wheat pasta, or bean/lentil-based pasta,
  which is more nutritious.

• A recent study concluded that pasta does not
  cause any weight gain or an increase in body fat.
  Many doctors and dietitians also recommend whole
  wheat pasta for better weight control and a lower
  risk of diseases.
• The difference between your regular pasta and
  whole wheat pasta is that traditional pasta only
  uses specific parts of the wheat kernel, which
  means that it loses key nutrients during the
  production process and so often nutrients and
  vitamins are artificially added to the product.
  On the other hand, whole wheat pasta uses all of
  the wheat kernel, which means that the nutrients
  remain in the pasta, along with fiber and protein
