PASTA

PRIMAVERA

The pasta on the right has

half the fat and double the

fiber of the one on the left.

Here’s how we did it.

Nixing the cream sauce

and tossing the pasta in a little

olive oil and fresh Parmesan

is enough of a sauce and

doesn’t outshine the veggies.

Using whole-grain

pasta boosts the fiber.

Doubling the veggies

adds sweet, spring flavor and

good-for-you nutrients.
