SO ONE OF MY BIGGEST STRUGGLES IN THIS HEALTHY EATING AND WEIGHT LOSS HAS BEEN MY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR PASTA!! IT IS MY WEAKNESS SERIOUSLY. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE RESTAURANT IS OLIVE GARDEN, FAVORITE DISH IS THE CHICKEN SCAMPI ( NO ONIONS), WE DON T REALLY EAT ONIONS IN MY FAMILY MY BF IS ALLERGIC AND HE HAS CONVINCED MY SON THAT HE IS TOO..... SMH. ANY WAY, LAST NIGHT I WAS DEF HAVING ONE OF MY PASTA CRAVINGS, WHICH HAPPENS OFTEN. IN THE PAST I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SWITCH TO WHOLE GRAIN PASTA WHICH I KNOW IS A BETTER OPTION, BUT I JUST NEVER REALLY WORKS OUT FOR ME. WHEN I HAD MADE IT IN THE PAST THE TEXTURE WASN'T AND I FELT LIKE IT JUST RUINED MY MEAL! LAST NIGHT I DECIDED TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY AND TO MY SURPRISE IT CAME OUT REALLY GOOD, YAY!!!
I MADE A SIMPLE CHICKEN ALFREDO USING BERTOLLI'S LIGHT ALFREDO SAUCE, WHICH IS PRETTY GOOD IN MY OPINION, I WAS LOOKING FOR A QUICK FIX SO I WENT WITH A STORE BOUGHT OPTION. SEASONED CHICKEN BREAST AND FRESH BROCCOLI , AND OF COURSE THE WHOLE WHEAT PASTA
ANYWAY WANTED TO SHARE MY FIRST POSITIVE EXPERIENCE WITH WHOLE WHEAT PASTA. MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVER COOK OR UNDER COOK, I REALLY THINK THAT WAS THE ISSUE IN THE PAST, I WAS THINKING THEY WOULD COOK JUST LIKE REGULAR PASTA BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE! OVERALL I WAS PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME AND MY SON ( 3YEARS OLD ) LOVED IT AND HE IS HARD TO PLEASE
