Opt for whole grain or whole wheat pasta instead of refined pasta to slow down the digestion process.

Keep your pasta portion modest, around 1 cup cooked, to prevent large spikes.

Add a source of protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or legumes (chickpeas, lentils) to your meal to balance out the carbohydrate content.

Incorporate healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, or a sprinkle of nuts and seeds to help stabilize blood sugar levels.

Ensure you have a good quantity of fiber-rich vegetables such as broccoli, spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini mixed with your pasta.

Use a balsamic or apple cider vinegar-based dressing for your vegetables to help moderate the glucose surge.

Take your time eating and chew your food thoroughly to aid in better digestion and slower glucose absorption.

Drink water throughout your meal to help with digestion and maintain hydration.

Aim for a balanced plate with half being non-starchy vegetables, a quarter protein, and a quarter pasta.

Consider having a small, protein-rich snack like a handful of nuts or a boiled egg about 30 minutes before your meal.
