Is Pasta Healthy?

Content: I’m a little bit sick of zoodles. I’ve eating my fair share, it’s sort of annoying to spiralize and they’re decently expensive to buy pre-spiralized. Don’t get me wrong, I eat 'em and appreciate them. I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum. I’m here to point out another super smart pasta substitute: hearts of palm. You may or may not have seen hearts of palm pasta brands cropping up on grocery store shelves recently, but the truth is that chefs have used canned hearts of palm as a pasta substitute for years — and they’re way easier to find at the grocery store! This Hearts of Palm Parm recipe from Food Network Kitchen, for example, was adapted from an episode of Chopped. Unlike zoodles, hearts of palm have a mildly tangy flavor (similar to brined artichoke hearts) that’s savory and really enhances many sauces you add to it. Each heart of palm resembles a satisfying, plump and al dente piece of pene pasta (minus the hole, of course).
