This Isn’t Your Mother’s Whole Wheat Pasta

In the 80’s, we were just learning about the benefits of whole wheat pasta. I was going to Weight Watchers classes weekly, and trying very hard to follow all the suggestions from our leader. But even though she suggested whole wheat pasta, the problem was that the pasta tasted like cardboard. I tried several different brands, and they all were horrible. Now that Dr. Oz and other television gurus are telling us again about the advantages of whole wheat, I decided to give it another try. Wow. It has really changed. I have been serving whole wheat pasta for months now, and my family now prefers the whole wheat. Even store brands are good now. I have started asking for whole wheat pasta in restaurants. Many of my favorite restaurants are able to substitute whole wheat. Some will add a dollar or so to the price, but I think it is worth it. If we all ask for whole wheat whenever we order a pasta dish, then the restaurant managers should get the message. I just love to find foods that are good and good for you.
