One of the recipes I experimented with with Pasta Young of the Fiber Plus type is a vegan pesto based on broccoli, carrots and coppery tomatoes. Pasta Young Fiber Plus is one of the four Pasta Young
novelties , and is designed for those who want to follow a balanced diet, are on a maintenance diet, have lost weight and do not want to gain weight. The idea of ​​this type of pasta is simple.

Given the importance of fiber both in maintaining a healthy weight and in a balanced diet, those of Pasta Young have thought of a type of pasta with precise dietary characteristics.

– thirty percent less carbohydrates than traditional pasta
– fifteen percent more protein than traditional pasta, a little more than wholemeal pasta
– three times more fiber than a plate of wholemeal pasta
for a slightly lower caloric amount to both traditional and wholemeal pasta.

Who it is suitable for: for those who need to keep their weight under control first of all and for those who need to improve their diet, to keep fit, because they play sports and have to check that their diet complies with their goals, etc. 
It is in fact a functional food , that is, with specific and special characteristics that make it a superfood.

Why are fibers important? The fibers reduce the caloric absorption of foods, reduce the absorption of fats and carbohydrates, nourish the healthy bacterial flora, promote intestinal regularity and digestion. The typical Western diet is low in fiber: experts have long reiterated that if you ate 30 to 35 grams of fiber a day, you would easily maintain a healthy weight. 100 grams of this pasta provides 17 grams, making it naturally low glycemic index.

Like the other Pasta Young products, Pasta Young Fiber Plus also keeps cooking (even more than traditional wholemeal pasta), it is tasty on the palate and easily digestible. Since it holds the sauce well, I thought of this vegan pesto because it contains rich in mono and polysaturated good fats and complete with colorful vegetables. 50 gr of Pasta Young are enough to have a satisfying dish, because it is a type of pasta with a high satiating power. Here is my recipe ( FOLLOW PAGE TWO )
