Grains, contrary to popular belief, are not good for us as they supply too much of the inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids. People in this country eat far too many in the form of breads, cereals, and yes, my favorite–pasta. Even whole grain pasta is not good. A grain is a grain, is a grain. It still supplies omega-6 fatty acids, even the "natural" whole wheat, whole grain foodstuffs. Even the government's food pyramid is upside down!
So what are you supposed to do, especially when you like pasta like me? Especially spaghetti and meatballs? I use a julienne vegetable peeler and make zucchini noodles. Use the skin and all and peel right down to the seeds. You can then cut up the core and thrown them in a stir fry or sauce. Take the zucchini noodles and saute them in coconut oil (or olive oil) for 2-3 minutes until just tender, season to taste. and voila– a great tasting and healthy pasta-like dish. You can put them in a stir fry, eat them as a side dish, put spaghetti sauce on them, etc. Sometimes I mix in carrots that are julienned too. Try and just eat!
