Most women stay away from pasta when they want to lose weight, but you don't have to do that anymore. The trick is to load your pasta with veggies. That means one portion of the noodles and as many vegetable fillers as you can handle. Vegetables are loaded with fiber, which satisfy your appetite for very few calories. That's why they can help you lose weight, even if you are eating pasta from time to time. Here are some mouthwatering recipes to get you started. Enjoy!
