Pasta Theory

Pasta Theory

I just read this little tidbit of information I thought was interesting.Did you know that if you take the pot off a little early that your pasta will have a satisfying bite and keep you full for hours... Why is this? Because Hot water breaks down the bonds between starch molecules. The longer you boil your pasta, the quicker your body converts those carbs into fuel. This will set off a rapid rise in blood sugar..which is followed by a hunger-inducing plunge! So whats the fix...Go with the shortest time in the recommended range on the back of the box,  This will deliver a steady stream of energy..keeping you full longer!Also less time to cook!  Win win!~battle on~
