We\u2019re big pasta fans here! There are so many delicious pasta dishes out there to try\u2026 all those delicious carb bombs! Something that, unfortunately, can\u2019t be denied. Loads of carbs \ud83d\ude09 However, if you counteract the carbs with a few veggies, like I did here with the Green Goddess Pasta, the carbs are not as bad I guess\u2026 at least that\u2019s what I am telling myself ;PGreen Goddess Pasta \u2013 Bake to the rootsThere are a lot of people (and studies) that tell you not to eat too many carbohydrates. As a diabetic, I have to admit \u2013 less is more in this case. Whenever I am in the mood for pasta, I have to decide \u2013 regular or wholemeal pasta. The one with wholemeal flour is much better for my blood sugar level. Most of the time I go for the \u00bbhealthier\u00ab stuff, but sometimes\u2026 I got to eat good old regular pasta pasta. Sorry, not sorry ;PRegular pasta is not bad, of course. It\u2019s all about the dosage. As long as you don\u2019t shove two large bowls of pasta down every night right before going to bed, you should be fine. \ud83d\ude09 Although, I am pretty sure that there are people out there who are fine with that. If I did that, my sleep that night would be absolutely horrible, and I would toss and turn all night. My stomach would work overtime and not like it at all ;PGreen Goddess Pasta \u2013 Bake to the rootsAnyway. Green Goddess Pasta is, as the name suggests, a little greener than other pasta dishes. This is partly due to the pesto and then, of course, the green veggies used. Green asparagus, sugar snap peas, and regular peas. A lovely green mix.The name \u00bbGreen Goddess\u00ab actually comes from a salad dressing, but is now also used for various other dishes. Pasta, salad, sandwiches, dipping sauces\u2026 you name it. I use it here too because\u2026 well, the veggies are green \ud83d\ude09 The salad dressing is made with mayonnaise \u2013 something I did not use here, of course. That would be \u00bbewww\u00ab. Even though there are pasta salads that are made with mayonnaise ;PClick on the picture to get to the recipe \u2013Click on the picture to get to the recipe \u2013If you\u2019ve ever googled \u00bbGreen Goddess Pasta\u00ab, you\u2019ll probably have seen much greener versions of the dish. This is partly due to the pasta used, which might hold more green pasta sauce, and generally due to the structure of the sauce. If you use more pesto, for example, or add spinach and a creamy component such as sour cream, the whole dish will definitely get greener \ud83d\ude09 However, we prefer the dish exactly as it is here. Green, but not St. Patrick\u2019s Day green ;PI got a lot more delicious pasta recipes here on the blog \u2013 if you are interested, just take a look at my pasta category. In case you like it green, you can also take a closer look at these recipes here: my delicious Soda Bread with Wild Garlic, Spring Onions & Cheddar or my Green Sandwiches.
