Dietitian’s tip

Cooling cooked pasta forms resistant starch that's a little gentler on blood sugar. Keep the portion to about a cup and let the tomatoes and greens add bulk.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Cook the penne ahead and chill it - this comes together cold in minutes.
  • A little provolone and a squeeze of lemon or olive oil is all the dressing it needs.
