Brown Rice VS Whole Wheat Pasta
- Thread starter TrojanMan60563

I should probably add that I love making fresh marinara sauce and that is why I eat the pasta.
Same here!
I like whole wheat pasta, but brown rice is the best for your carbs. That and oatmeal.

Oatmeal rocks, more flavor!
yea i buy these sweet potatoes that you just heat up in the microwave for 5 minutes. i love them, an hour after my pwo shake i always eat one sweet potatoe and then have a little somethin else
I have been weighing out my pasta before cooking to make sure I am not over eating...cause lord knows that is easy to do with pasta!....I buy everything in huge quantity and have a little of each left, but plan to switch to one or the other for the sake of having less shyt in the house....maybe I can try eating my rice with sause on it?

Ya know what, I never noticed that, but youre right. When i cook some sort of italian meal (common with me) and theres pasta involved (almost always), I think that I might not be making enough pasta!
Speaking of which, my mother taught me how to cook REAL spaghetti sauce and meatballs. Not rocket science, but with a college budget and lifestyle, I know that those kind of left overs can feed me for a week! However, regardless on how much I plee, my mother always makes the meatballs/meat sauce with regular beef or chuck, never using lean or extra lean beef.
I wanted to make my own pasta WITH extra lean beef...possibly with SOME chuck in there to give back some fat, but has anyone tried this? Is it really needed to add some regular ol' beef? Im guessing it will taste fine, extra lean still has some fat in it...

I agree 100%, but it seems easier with the regular pasta noodles versus something like wheat penne noodles.

I got 97% fat free Ground Turkey and put it into my sauce and it was great. Had a different taste but still very good.
These aren't as bad as they sound Spaghetti Brown Rice Pasta | Products | Lundberg Family Farms
Mixing meat like that isn't good because they do not cook at same rate.
use 95/5 beef and pan cook the outside...then put it in your marinara sauce on low heat to cook for a couple hours...that will make them nice tender and juicy.
I like both although chicken and rice is my staple dinner in college.
But, I do love some whole wheat angle hair pasta loaded up with EV Olive Oil, some salt, a bunch of parm and romano cheese topped with grilled chicken. Simple, fast and tasty!

Why hasn't whole grain pasta come up yet? Grains > wheats.
I always go for the whole grain but sometimes I slip and just call it whole wheat, like above...
Whole grain is clearly superior. Something can say whole wheat but still be refined, aka, stripped of nutrients.

Whole grain pasta is good too. I do prefer the brown rice pasta over it as well though.
Pasta is always considered a cheat for me, I love it so goddamn much that I have trouble controlling the portions like a lot of people here. My solution is just don't eat it except for a cheat.
I can easily down more than half a box of spaghetti, and that's not including the inevitable garlic bread/breadsticks.

i like brown rice plain but dress it up just like you would any pasta dish and it's a very good substitute.

Brown Rice Pasta is great. I just got some. I wish I had a recipe for a healthy sauce to use though.
Just make your own....roma tomato, garlic, olive oil, and seasonings is a simple way to go...just dice the tomato and garlic....throw it in a pot with a little oil and seasonings...simmer low heat until it cooks down and the tomato gets soft....and done. You can leave out the salt with your own sauce too.
ive never messed with pasta, dont want to for some reason. i just get brown rice, but i must suck at making it because it always tastes so plain and dull..then again, that could just be how its supposed to taste.
