Hear me out, I think I have some pretty valid reasons.
And while I love a variety of carb-rich foods, pasta is one of my favorites.
But thats far from the case.

And while these can be more nutritious options, they arent usually my go-to.
Here are a few reasons why.
Pasta is also commonly fortified with some micronutrients such as B vitamins, iron andfolate.
These nutrients help with numerous body functions like nutrient absorption, brain health and muscle function.
Some pasta alternatives like legume-based pastas can have a more firm and even brittle texture.
And they often have a nuttier, stronger flavor compared to regular pasta.
I prefer the flavor, texture and price point.
