That's what I like about couscous. OK, I know it's not pasta, but if
you eat it with a mountain of mixed fresh veg with a little stock
poured over, it doesn't need any sort of rich or fatty sauce with it.
I do like pasta with just veggies, too, though.

Change your quantities. If you are dieting and using phrases like
"mountain
of mixed fresh veg", then you need to cut back. Sorry to be so blunt,
but you
can't eat mountains of anything when dieting.

I'm sorry but I disagree. I never cut back on vegetables, other than
a few calorie dense ones, when I'm dieting and this has never affected
my ability to lose weight. With my evening meal I eat perhaps half a
cauliflower or cabbage, plus swede, turnips etc. in addition to a main
protein dish. This works for me, and I have no intention of changing
my quantities.

I agree 100%. Increasing vegetables and limiting other higher calorie foods
is a great way to lose weight.
