Pasta is a staple in any Italian meal, although portion size differs between Mediterranean and Western diets. Italians enjoy pasta as a first course and a serving is not intended to constitute an entire meal like it does in North  America. To enjoy pasta as an Italian is to prepare it with authentic sauces, filled with meat, vegetables and other important nutrients.

When people think about cutting calories, they turn to limiting their consumption of pasta, which is not entirely the answer to healthy eating. Portion control and choosing high quality, nutrient dense foods are a general rule of thumb in the Mediterranean Diet. That’s why we source ingredients closest to home, to ensure freshness, an ultimate flavour and highest nutritional benefits.
