Pasta

Broke students revere it, and non-cooks adore it. It's made to please and makes life easier. We prepare it thousands of different ways, but when it comes down to the actual cooking part, we often get it wrong. Did you know, for example, that the more you cook pasta, the more fiber it loses? It's true: overcooking your pasta raises its glycemic index, which means that it will be digested more rapidly...which means you'll be hungry again in no time. So, go ahead and get into authentic Italian mode by cooking your pasta al dente—you'll get more texture and fiber in every bite!
