In my opinion pasta is the best food there is, for many reasons. Whoever created pasta knew what they were doing. Maybe right now you don't think that past is the best food, but after reading this, you'll have a better appreciation for the quality of pasta.

1. Pasta is easy to make.

If you can boil things and set a timer, you can make pasta. It's a very easy dish to make. It only takes about ten minutes, depending on the type of pasta. Just make sure it doesn't boil over and stick in the pan. As far as recipes go, it's not very complicated.

2. Pasta is filling.

Pasta is one of those satisfying foods that always makes you full. You don't have to make a large amount to have a satisfying meal. It's a food that can go along way, so it's great for a family meal or even church event. I don't know how many spaghetti dinners I've been to at church. The only problem I've come across with making spaghetti is that because it's so filling I sometimes make too much for myself. That's why left overs are a thing.

3. It's a great leftover.

There aren't that many foods that are great leftovers, but pasta has never let me down. Just stir it while you're warming it up, throw some cheese on it and you have yourself another satisfying meal.

4. Pasta is healthy.

Pasta is a great source of carbohydrates, which is the essential fuel your body needs to sustain itself. It is also low in sodium and cholesterol free. It's a food that can help you have a balanced diet. Plus it's a food that you can easily pair with vegetables and other foods to have a complete healthy meal.

5. Most pasta is vegan.

Anyone on a vegan diet can count on pasta for a filling meal. There are a few ingredients to look for when you are buying pasta. There are always exceptions, but generally pasta is a great choice for vegans who want a satisfying meal. You don't need dairy or eggs to have a delicious pasta feast!

6. Pasta is versatile.

There are several ways to make pasta, so you won't ever get tired of the same old meal. You can have Baked Spaghetti, Fettuccine Alfredo or any other possibility you can imagine. You can change up the type of sauce you use or the pasta itself for endless possibilities.

7. You can make it your own.

Pasta is a good food to experiment with different recipes. You can have a pasta base and play with different sauces, or try different pairings. Maybe you'll create a masterpiece that you can pass down to become a special family recipe.

8. It's a fun food.

Pasta is a fun food to eat. Sometimes you can't beat the satisfaction of slurping an incredibly long noodle. It can be messy, but messy can be part of the fun. Forget the fork, who needs to be proper?

9. It's great for babies.

Pasta is a great start food for babies. It's soft, so it's not too challenging for them. They can eat it without bothering their sensitive teething gums. Plus, it's a great experience for them to get a little messy with their food.

10. Pasta can be romantic.

You can't deny the romance of pasta, apart from the fact that you can get sauce on your face. That could lead to a cute moment though. Pasta is fun and you definitely want to have fun on a date. Besides, you could have a cute "Lady and the Tramp" moment.

11. Pasta has a great history.

You may not be thinking about it when you're chewing away at that mouthful of pasta, but when you actually look into it, the history of pasta is pretty cool. While we traditionally associate pasta with Italy, it actually comes from Asian noodles. There is an entire history of pasta in several cultures most people don't know.

12. Pasta is culturally diverse.

There are several different cultures that enjoy pasta. You can find all kinds of recipes to enjoy from around the world. That gives you plenty of options to try. If you want to experience variety, pasta is the way to go.

Basically, you can't go wrong with pasta. There are so many reasons to enjoy and appreciate this food and I didn't even mention all of the puns to create. There are so many pastabilities!

Now, go out and get yourself a satisfying pasta feast!
