As many of you know by now, September is Whole Grains Month and I've been celebrating so far by sharing some Fast and Healthy Recipe Ideas. One of the easiest ways to transition to whole grains is by substituting whole grain pasta for white pasta.
Over the years, I've gradually switched my kids over to whole grain pastas. At first, they were turned off by the darker color, but as I found some brands that were milder in flavor, and matched these heartier pastas with more robust sauces like Puttanesca Sauce, they learned to enjoy them. They know that whole grain pastas are better for them and will keep them satisfied longer.
I am thrilled to announce a super giveaway for Vita Spelt Pasta, made with 100% spelt flour - I served Puttanesca Sauce over Vita Spelt Spaghetti Pasta and my kids enjoyed it thoroughly.
