It seems you can make the carb-laden dish healthier by doing one thing...

PASTA lovers who are trying to be healthy will be familiar with the struggle of wanting to enjoy a large, comforting bowl smothered in their favourite sauce.

But there may be a way to making the carb-laden dish healthier.

Apparently, simply eating leftover pasta instead of fresh can make it healthier for you and microwaving it is even better.

Researchers from the University of Surrey found that eating cold pasta produced smaller spikes in glucose than tucking in when its fully cooked.

And results were even more prominent when the pasta was reheated.

Astonishingly, a study which was previously broadcast on TV show Trust Me, Im a Doctor, found microwaved pasta to be significantly healthier acting more like bananas, beans or raw oats when being absorbed in the gut as well as ranking lower on the glycaemic index.

The experts reckoned that reheating pasta turned the carbohydrate into a resistant starch which, compared to sugar, lowers blood glucose levels and helps you feel fuller for longer.

What do you think; will you be microwaving your leftovers instead of making fresh now?
