Despite what Nanny and so called "experts" have been telling us over the years, it seems that pasta does not make you fat but actually helps you lose weight.
For why?
It doesn't bugger up your blood sugar levels, in the way that some other foods do.
Here is what the BMJ says:
"Pasta in the context of low-GI dietary patterns does not adversely affect adiposity and even reduces body weight and BMI compared with higher-GI dietary patterns."

In other words ignore the experts and maintain a balanced diet, allowing for indulgences and fun!
