Starch-forward recipes emphasize the importance of incorporating complex carbohydrates, like potatoes, rice, pasta and lentils, into meals to enhance satiety and provide sustainable energy. With a blend of whole-grain pasta, beans and bold spices, Baked Mexican Pasta offers a flavorful and filling dinner option. For a delicious fusion of rice, protein-rich beans and creamy avocado, try Southwest Brown Rice. Curried Mixed Lentil Soup delivers a comforting, spice-filled dish with tender lentils and rich, aromatic flavors, making it a satisfying meal for any occasion. Potato Hash is a delicious mix of potatoes, onions and peppers, perfect for starting your day with lasting energy.

By focusing on whole, unprocessed starches like potatoes, grains and legumes, you can create meals that are both filling and balanced, making it easier to manage weight and improve overall well-being.
