Grilled veggie pasta salad?

[Pam24]

Hi guys! My mom has been battling diabetes type 2 for many years now. However, making diet changes has been hard on her, especially since we have asian heritage that is known for a diet heavy on carbs. I decided that its time for a change and i wanted to gradually introduce her to some more appropriate meals for her condition. when looking for recipes i came across a grilled veggie pasta salad. it calls for the following:


whole Wheat Pasta
1 Large Zucchini
1Medium Eggplant
1 Small Red Onion
1 Red Bell Pepper
Baby Arugula
Kalamata Olives
Salt and Pepper

For the vinaigrette:
1Head of roasted Garlic
3 Tbsp of Balsamic Vinegar
4 Tbsp of Olive Oil

Of course thsi would feed a lot more than one person and i wouldnt put a lot of pasta in it. Just enough for my mom to transition more easily into the new diet. What do you guys think? Should i leave out some ingredient? Or does it look ok?

The only thing I would leave out is the pasta as it is a no no for many diabetics

As you say, don't over do the pasta and the other stuff is all good

If you use any low carb recipe, they will be good too

If your mum likes pasta, this might be worth a try. Scroll down to the soy and gluten pasta

Thank you for the suggestions. I will try to keep the pasta to the minimum. hopefully the recipe turns out tasty enough to convince her that controlling her diabetes doesnt have to be terrible.
