NTERESTING FACT: Did you know that pasta cooked 'al dente' has a lower glycemic Index than fully-cooked pasta? The term 'al dente' literally means 'to the tooth', and can be best translated as 'chewy'. It is a pasta that is boiled just to the point of being cooked through, and remains firm. Al dente pasta resists the effects of digestive enzymes more than regular cooked pasta and so breaks down slower in your body, and as a result has a lower glycemic index.
