How to consume Fresh Pasta (Cooked) without glucose spikes
Portion Control
Reduce the serving size of fresh pasta to minimize the glucose spike. Smaller portions can help in managing blood sugar levels more effectively.
Combine with Fiber-Rich Vegetables
Add vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, or bell peppers to your pasta. These vegetables are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, which can help slow down the absorption of sugar.
Include Healthy Fats
Incorporate healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, or a handful of nuts into your pasta dish. These fats can slow digestion and stabilize blood sugar levels.
Add Protein
Include a source of lean protein such as grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes. Protein helps in moderating blood sugar spikes by slowing down carbohydrate absorption.
Opt for Whole Wheat or Lentil Pasta
When possible, choose whole wheat or lentil-based pasta alternatives. They typically have more fiber and protein compared to regular pasta.
Cook Pasta Al Dente
Cook your pasta to be slightly firm (al dente) rather than soft. Al dente pasta has a lower impact on blood sugar levels.
Use Vinegar-Based Dressings
Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to your pasta dish. The acidity can help slow down the conversion of starches into sugars.
Stay Hydrated
Drink water before and after meals. Staying hydrated can help your body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Space Out Carbohydrate Intake
Avoid consuming other high-carb foods in the same meal. This will help prevent a larger cumulative effect on your blood sugar.
Monitor Timing of Consumption
Consider having pasta for lunch instead of dinner, allowing your body more time to process carbohydrates throughout the day.

The concept of using CGM to guide your training and food plan is brilliant. The app is also very well laid out.
