Multicooker noodles - secrets and tips from the best chefs
How to eat pasta and not get better? The answer to this question is known to the Italians and the Japanese. The first does not use other types of pasta, except from durum wheat. Do not buy pasta from processed flour, they are not useful and do not carry anything but extra calories. In addition, these pasta is not very tasty - they are completely neutral and glued together in the cold. Pasta from durum wheat has a pleasant bread taste, the structure of such pasta seems to be more taut and hard, and when cold, they do not lose their appetizing appearance.
The Japanese use macaroni exclusively with proteins. These are seafood, chicken and vegetables (healthy carbohydrates). Do not eat noodles with fatty meat or use them only in the morning, and then your figure will be in order.
"It is better not to boil over than to digest." Now all over the world in a trend the concept "al dente". By and large, it is slightly undercooked pasta, but they are much healthier and tastier than the digested.
