Pasta is a beloved staple at the McDougall Program for its versatility and low-calorie density. Opting for whole-grain varieties or alternatives like chickpea, brown rice or lentil pasta available at your local grocery store ensures a nutritious base for your meals. Pair your favorite pasta with flavorful Zesty Pesto Sauce, free from oil or dairy, or indulge in the richness of Italian Pasta Marinara. As the weather warms up, Curly Pasta Salad offers a refreshing option for picnics or potlucks, while Tex-Mex Pasta adds a Southwestern flair to your table. If you’re craving Asian flavors, Wok-Stirred Noodles combines crisp vegetables and fresh chow mein noodles, perfectly seasoned with ginger.
