Start by reducing the portion size of pasta to manage carbohydrate intake better. This can help prevent a significant spike in blood glucose levels.

Opt for whole grain or high-fiber pasta, which is digested more slowly compared to refined pasta, helping to maintain steady blood sugar levels.

Incorporate lean protein sources such as grilled chicken, turkey, or tofu into your meal to slow down digestion and stabilize blood glucose.

Add healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds to your pasta dish, as they can help slow carbohydrate absorption.

Mix in non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or broccoli for added fiber and nutrients, which can help moderate the spike.

Use a smaller amount of tomato sauce, as canned versions can sometimes contain added sugars, contributing to glucose spikes.

Use cheese sparingly, opting for part-skim or lower-fat varieties if possible, to reduce saturated fat intake while still adding flavor.

Consider adding a splash of vinegar, such as balsamic or apple cider, as it may help lower the glycemic impact of the meal.

Drink water throughout your meal. Staying hydrated can help with digestion and potentially reduce blood sugar fluctuations.

Eat meals at consistent times each day to help regulate blood sugar levels and improve your body’s insulin response.
