How to consume Pasta With Pesto Sauce without glucose spikes

Use a smaller pasta portion and add more pesto, herbs, and non-starchy vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, broccoli, or mushrooms.

Choose lentil- or chickpea-based pasta, or whole-grain pasta cooked al dente, rather than soft refined pasta.

Add protein to the meal, such as grilled chicken, salmon, tofu, tempeh, or eggs.

Include healthy fats and fiber with the meal, such as pesto made with olive oil and pine nuts, plus a leafy-green salad.

Avoid pairing the pasta with sugary drinks, garlic bread, or dessert; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
