Tricolor spiral pasta ala crème

An easy and fast pasta recipe, that you can serve proudly!

Pasta is an affordable and loved food throughout the world. It’s easy and fast to cook and there are hundreds of recipes. It provides our body with essential nutrients. It gives us beneficial carbohydrates and it’s a good source of fiber. It also provides us with selenium and manganese, both very important for our health. Selenium is a mineral with antioxidant properties and it protects our cells. Manganese is a mineral that helps us metabolize carbohydrates and regulates our blood sugar. It also contains vitamin B9. If you prefer whole-wheat pasta, you can add carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin in the nutrients you are receiving. Both of them support a healthy vision. It provides us with energy!

One of my favorite dishes is tricolor spiral pasta ala crème. You can make it in no time and you can serve it at any occasion. You can also use any kind of pasta you like, white or whole-wheat, spaghetti, tagliatelle, penne, etc.
