WHOLE WHEAT PASTA IN RED SAUCE
Whole wheat pasta is a healthier option over pasta made from refined flour. Nor only does it provide all complex carbohydrates, but also provides long lasting energy levels. Being loaded with fibre, improves overall digestive health, improves functional capacity and also stronger bones and immunity. Additional to its benefits, is the presence of the superherbs basil and parsley. These anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial foods, are high not only in vitamin C and vitamin K but also iron and calcium. The presence of these ingredients makes the whole wheat pasta in red sauce more flavorful and energizing.
