Cheese Filled Ravioli (1 Cup)

Reduce the ravioli portion and fill at least half of the plate with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, or a leafy salad.

Add a protein-rich side, such as grilled chicken, salmon, eggs, tofu, or tempeh, rather than eating ravioli by itself.

Choose a tomato- and vegetable-based sauce instead of creamy or sweetened sauces, and avoid adding bread or garlic bread to the meal.

Eat the vegetables and protein first, then have the ravioli last to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after finishing the meal, if this is safe and appropriate for you.

Consider having a smaller serving of ravioli with lentils or chickpeas in a salad or soup to make the meal more filling without relying on extra pasta.
