Forgo The Sauce, The Flavor Is Already In The Pasta

As any calorie counter can tell you, pasta isn’t so bad - it’s the rich sauces people put on it.

Enter Pasta LaBella, with its new line of full-flavored pastas in various shapes. Along with the more usual suspects - pesto, lemon pepper, tomato basil, cracked pepper - there’s a powerful chili pepper, a delicate smoked salmon, a robust roasted bell pepper/garlic and an earthy porcini mushroom.

Add some meat and/or veggies and a light dressing, and you won’t have to hit the sauce at all.

Price: Between $2 and $3 for 10- to 12-ounce packages.

Available: At most area supermarkets (except Safeway and Fred Meyer stores).
