Eating too much food is fattening - not the pasta itself

Hi,
Is pasta fattening ?
The only major change in my food intake these last few years is
discovery of things like Tesco Tuna and pasta bake, or chicken and
broccoli pasta bake. I never considered pasta before, also these last
few years I am putting on weight a bit, now is the pasta thing the cause
or just age, I am coming up to 51. I do enjoy it and also the
convenienve of the tubbed meals as mentioned.

Steve,

Of course pasta is fattening when you eat more than 1/3 of a cup (portion).
Next whole grain pasta is better, as is whole grain bread compared to
white bread.

I miss making my own pasta. The pasta bakes never came to mind, dammit!

Best,

Andy
Pasta makes fine breakfast food if you're not on a diet, from experience.
