Healthy, because
The pasta meal provides plenty of biotin, also known as a skin or beauty vitamin. It promotes the growth of firm fingernails, provides shiny, strong hair and a beautiful complexion. It is indispensable as a starter for the metabolism of all nutrients.
Even smarter
If you find the sepia-coloured pasta unpleasant in taste, you can of course also use normal pasta. Whoever then reaches for the wholemeal product increases the fibre intake.
