Notes & frequently asked questions

Can vegans eat pasta?

Generally, pasta is 100% vegan and contains no animal ingredients. Check the package label, and make sure pasta doesn’t contain any eggs.

Is pasta healthy?

Pasta is definitely part of a healthy diet, as long as it’s eaten in moderation.

And If you switch to whole grain pasta, you’ll get more natural fiber and micronutrients. Fiber is an important part of your diet, it helps control blood sugar and reduces appetite.

Added bonus? Research shows that eating three servings of whole-grain food per day helps you to live longer. 

What’s the best pasta?

Pasta brand matters when you chose pasta. Have a look at the label and go for durum wheat semolina pasta, possibly made with brass or bronze dies.

The premium quality pasta is a bit more expensive than basic pasta, but it’s resilient, it has a more robust texture and holds sauces beautifully.

I love cooking on a budget, but cheap overcooked spaghetti makes me feel so sad!
