They say it's National Pasta Month...I say who cares as longs as it's delicious...I can easily celebrate every month (...I'm considerate like that)! ...however, I do keep those festivities to a minimum because I like fitting into my pants. That being said, if you are willing to control your portions, then it's not a problem and you can enjoy a one cup serving for 363 calories, 33g net carbs and 16g protein. Add a 4oz Chicken Breast and a cup of steamed Broccoli and you have a perfectly balanced meal for about 500 calories! Party on Pasta!!! ;)
