Pasta can provide some of the key nutrients your body needs as part of a balanced diet.

It’s the perfect vehicle to enjoy fresh vegetables, fish and meats to aid your families 5 a day.

The nutritional benefits of pasta are:

  • SUSTAINED ENERGY: Pasta is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, which provide a slow release of energy to sustain you throughout the day.
