Thread: Does it have to be wholemeal pasta ?

As the title says really ! Its just that i only have normall and im doing a red day today but fancied some pasta with my prawn salad. Can i have normall pasta but just less than what i could have if it was wholemeal ?

Thanks in advance x

To count as a HeB it needs to be wholemeal for the fibre. Sorry!

If you only have white then syn it.

mmm i thought as much ! Thank you !

What about if it was wholemeal spaghetti ? or is that a stupid question ?!

It's any wholemeal pasta, regardless of the shape!

Yep as Jaylou said any shaped pasta as long as it's wholemeal. I'd like some in the shape and taste of pizza...

Ha! I thought it was a silly question ! Thank you both for your help ! x

Laura We can only dream ! Have you tried pizza pittas ? Very very yum ! Not quite the same but a good sub.

I haven't but I really should, I need to go shopping later so I'll look for that bread mix that can be HeB. I've never made a pizza in my life, fat ones or thin ones!

It reminds me though of a discussion with my son who is the pickiest eater I've ever know....

Son-Mum why can't they make healthy food taste like nice food? They have made chocolate flavoured chewing gum.
Me-I don't know but they should.
Son-Well it seems to me that scientists can do all sorts of clever things so why aren't they helping us?
Me-(Pondering the yummy flavours you could add to vegetables)Well maybe it's just too hard and they can't figure it out.
Son-No I think it's because they want us to be fat so we buy all the slimming food. When I'm a scientist I'm going to create really tasty vegetables and everyone will think I'm amazing.
Me-Well hurry up and get on with it!

He was 8 at the time.

Awwwwww bless him ! How old is he now is he any closer to making this happen ?!!!! I make my pizza's with wholemeal pitta bread and its freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee if you use it as a heb

We still have a while to wait, he's only 10 now.

I've run out of pitta and seems we can't get them at Asda anymore.

They grow fast though, I wish him lots of luck in his quest ! Or pizza on toast is very yummy too !
