Whole wheat pasta, savour this healthy Italian delicacy, which is also a rich source of proteins and fibre! The Italian diet which is known for its high-calorie pasta preparations and its cheesy sauces has been converted into this 96 calorie (per serving), high fibre version. As the name suggests, I have used whole wheat pasta instead of plain flour pasta, mixed with a scrumptious tomato sauce and loads of veggies that you'll surely love. The meal will be complete when served with the whole wheat garlic bread.
