Pasta with Meatballs In Tomato Sauce Entree (Canned) (100 G)

Use a smaller portion of the pasta-and-meatballs entrée and add a side of non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, spinach, or green beans.

Eat the meatballs and vegetables first, then have the pasta portion last to slow the rise in blood sugar.

Mix extra low-starch vegetables into the sauce, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini, instead of adding more pasta.

Add a protein- and fiber-rich side such as lentils or chickpeas in a modest portion, and reduce the amount of pasta accordingly.

Avoid pairing the entrée with bread, garlic bread, sugary drinks, dessert, or other refined starches; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating, if appropriate for your health and mobility.
