Making Pasta Seasoned and Herbal for a Healthier Snack

 A balanced diet can include pasta as a healthy food. The pasta itself will not contribute to an unhealthy supper but the sauces we choose to create can if we do not make proper selections. Low-fat dieters shouldn't consume sauces that are rich with thick cream. For a tantalizing experience of flavors from throughout the world, think about combining healthy olive oils with other flavors and spice combinations.

How to Season and Add Herbs to Pasta for a Healthier Snack


I personally aim to limit my consumption of gluten-free spaghetti to just once a week. I don't eat a low-fat diet because I think healthy fats can help you lose weight and keep your body in good shape. Therefore, when I prepare spaghetti as a major dish, I use the leftovers for snacks (if there are any!)


I enjoy experimenting with various flavored olive oils as a pretty straightforward spaghetti sauce. You could, for instance, sample these three flavors:


  1. Olive oil with lemongrass, garlic, basil, lime, and chilli that is Thai-inspired is number one.
  2. Extra virgin olive oil with basil from the Mediterranean region, garlic, pepper, thyme, and lemon.
  3. Picante Mexican Olive Oil, an extra virgin olive oil with thyme, basil, garlic, and chili peppers that is inspired by Mexican cuisine.

Simply using these oils will give basic pasta a tremendous flavor boost. Imagine what you could create if you also added some herbs and/or spices. Plain and boring days are over!


A flavorful oil, fresh seasonal vegetables, pasta, and chicken strips added to a mixture of herbs and spices, in my opinion, would be both delicious and healthful.


I could suggest the following three blends for you to find:


  1. A Moroccan blend, which tastes great with fresh vegetables, cooked lentils, or chickpeas.
  2. A Mediterranean mixture is wonderful when combined with chicken and risotto rice or to flavor proteins, couscous, and veggies.
  3. A harisa-inspired medium-hot Tunisian style blend, to be mixed with lentils, chickpeas, and vegetables. 

You may add diversity to your meals by using different combinations of oils, herbs, spices, and other ingredients, including healthy pasta options.


Send your tastebuds on a global culinary adventure!


For a healthier you, be sure the items you use don't have any extra MSG, gluten, or preservatives. An excellent addition to any pantry that wants to experience cuisine with flavors from throughout the globe.


Cooking advice for pasta


Cooking advice for pasta recipes:

  • When cooking, it requires a comparable amount of water, such as 6 liters of water for every 2 kg of pasta.

  • Before adding pasta to the water, make sure it has a sufficient amount of salt.

  • Make sure the water is boiling before adding the pasta to the pot.

  • When the pasta is fully cooked—that is, after it has been immersed in the boiling water—remove the saucepan's lid.

  • Continue stirring while the water comes to a full boil.

  • Check the pasta with a spoon and taste it to see if it is cooked through.
