Tuna&Vegetable Wholemeal Pasta

Tuna&Vegetable Wholemeal Pasta 

Hey Wisefoodies :) Reena here :)

I don't know where to begin, all I can say, is when someone asks' me whats' one of my favorite foods, I always say PASTA!, you can't go wrong with pasta. In fact I have never tasted bad pasta..ever! I am a fan of the salad pastas and the cold ones, but my all time fav that I could eat without any hassles is the tomato based ones.

You maybe thinking that pasta has a lot of carbs- well it is defs a carb food however it can also be healthy for your body. The best thing I find with pasta is, you can add as much vegetables to it and it actually makes it taste better.
