How to consume pesto pasta without glucose spikes

Use a smaller pasta portion and make half the plate non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, or salad.

Choose al dente whole-wheat spaghetti, or pasta made from lentils or chickpeas, instead of refined pasta.

Add a substantial protein portion to the pesto pasta, such as grilled chicken, salmon, tofu, tempeh, eggs, or tuna.

Include healthy fats and fiber with the meal: keep the pesto, add extra pine nuts, and serve with avocado or olives if desired.

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

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