Pasta is an all-time favorite dish that’s delicious and very easy and quick to make. Everyone loves pasta even though it’s not the healthiest food choice, but don’t worry. Here are a few easy ways to make your pasta healthier in the future.

Add More Veggies

The best way to add more veggies into your diet and boost your fiber intake is to eat more greens with your favorite meal. Try adding spinach, broccoli, zucchini, or peas to make your pasta more healthy and delicious.

Add Healthy Fat

Trans fats and saturated fats are both considered “bad” fats, but there are also “healthy” fats that are good—because they provide us with energy and can even help with weight loss. To make your pasta more delicious and nutritious, try adding foods that are high in healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil, salmon, or nuts.

Add Protein

If you’re struggling to up your daily protein intake try adding more protein to your pasta in the future. The best way to do it is to load pasta with fresh fish such as tuna, salmon, or shrimp—or you can choose chicken, poultry, lentils, or beans.
