About Our Healthy Pasta Recipes

When it comes to healthy food recipes, pasta fits into many diets better than you think, as long as it’s made the right way. If you’re mindful about what you put into your pasta dishes (and what you leave out!), it’s easy to create healthy pasta meal recipes that are good for your heart while also enticing your palate. 

We’ve turned pasta into a health food you can savor by using alternatives to white pasta to up the fiber content and creating healthy pasta sauces that are low in fat, sodium and calories. But what you’ll like most is that these healthy pasta recipes taste as good as your tried-and-true favorites, from Mac and Cheese and Fettuccine Alfredo to Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce and Pasta Carbonara. Looking for a hearty meal? This Pasta with Meat Sauce won’t disappoint. If you prefer lighter fare, these colorful Zucchini Lasagna Roll Ups are sure to please. And you’ll draw rave reviews at your next cookout with this Veggie Pasta Salad or Tortellini Pasta Salad. In addition to vegetarian dishes, you’ll also find healthy pasta recipes on the site that incorporate your favorite proteins, such as chicken, turkey, beef and seafood. So get ready to fall in love with pasta again, even on a healthy diet!
