“Is Pasta Healthy or Unhealthy? Here’s What You Should Know (with Bregano)”

Pasta: Comfort Food or Health Concern?

Pasta is one of the world’s favorite comfort foods — but is it actually healthy?
The answer depends on what it’s made from, how it’s cooked, and what ingredients you add to it.

If you’re eating regular refined wheat pasta loaded with cream and butter, it may not be doing your body many favors. But if you choose semolina-based Bregano pasta and pair it with vegetables and light sauces, you’re choosing a wholesome, satisfying, and nutrient-rich meal.

What Is Pasta, Really?

 

Pasta is traditionally made from durum wheat semolina (suji) and water. It’s shaped into familiar varieties like penne, macaroni, and fusilli, and cooked by boiling.

However, not all pasta is created equal. Many pasta brands today use refined flour (maida), which removes the grain’s natural nutrients and fibre.
Bregano pasta, on the other hand, is made using pure durum semolina, making it a healthier, high-protein alternative.

Why Bregano Pasta Is a Better Choice

Here’s why Bregano stands out among other pasta brands in India:

✅ Made from 100% Durum Wheat Semolina (Suji)
Free  from maida, preservatives, and additives
✅ 100% Vegetarian & Made in India
✅ Maintains perfect texture and taste in every bite

Compared to typical pasta manufacturers in India, Bregano’s pasta manufacturing process  ensures purity, quality, and authentic Italian-style taste.

Pasta and the Carbs Dilemma

Yes, Yes, pasta is high in carbohydrates. But not all carbs are bad.
Complex carbs in semolina digest slowly, giving long-lasting energy without spiking your blood sugar.
In contrast, simple carbs (like maida pasta) can lead to energy crashes and unwanted weight gain.

💡 Pro Tip: Make your pasta healthier by choosing red sauce pasta recipes packed with veggies and plant protein like tofu, beans, or paneer.
