I made a pesto sauce for pasta. I made it the regular way, fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil and NO PARMASAN CHEESE. And you know what? It tasted really good and I didn’t miss the cheese. I’m tempted to say it tasted the same! I also put in some fresh cilantro (my favorite herb).
I made Smart Taste spaghetti by Ronzoni for the kids, and Healthy Harvest Whole Grain spaghetti by Ronzoni for myself. But when I analyzed the nutritional facts of both spaghettis I was shocked to learn that the white smart pasta actually has more dietary fiber than the whole wheat one! Countered with one more gram of protein in the whole wheat. So I am not going to try and force my family to eat the whole wheat one when the white, SMART pasta with Calcium, vitamin D and Fiber added is just as or better.
