Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedCooked whole-wheat pasta is recommended during pregnancy as a superior nutrient-dense carbohydrate staple. It delivers abundant dietary fiber to help prevent gestational constipation, along with zinc, protein, and B vitamins. Boil in plenty of water until tender and serve hot with thoroughly cooked sauces. Combine with sautéed vegetables, garlic, and cooked lean protein to optimize nutrient variety.
