      It is a good source of carbohydrate. So, would be a good food for someone who uses or needs this type of energy. It is generally a good food, but for some people they can eat too much of it. It is also important not to eat it on its own and include vegetables and a source of protein (meat, cheese or alternative sources) to make a well balanced meal.

      Pasta isn’t the main staple in Asia and Africa but we do have noodles and rice noodles, and brown rice is also good!

      It is if you are Italian, or a footballer…..they tend to have a bowl of pasta before a game to provide them with a source of energy ready available…..as Duane mentioned, combined with vegetables or protein is good way to have a balanced meal….

      Pasta is full of carbohydrate so will be a good source of energy. Its also relatively easy to prepare and combines with so many other foods to provide lots of variety so I think its a good all rounder! Again though, it should be part of a balanced diet as it won’t provide everything you need on its own.
