I find that normal pasta makes it quite hard to control my BS. At the same time I really love pasta. Recently I have discovered pasta made from legumes. There are different brands, I found an Italian producer that makes pasta from red lentil flour and and green peas. Both are delicious.
Compared to normal pasta, it has less carbs and more protein. In 100g there are ca. 50g of carbs. I typically use just 50g-70g of pasta for my meals. So, there are still carbs obviously but it does not cause that BS spike like normal pasta, so I am really excited about it.
