I eat pasta and I really love it, but in moderation. Pasta is simply put - carbs. Carbohydrates, often referred to as "carbs", are your body's primary energy source and they're a crucial part of any healthy diet. Carbs (or any nutrients) should never be avoided but I think choosing smart in quality and in quantity is key to a balanced diet. If you're working out, eating pasta before a workout or after a workout would be smart (has a lot to do with glycemic index, will cover that at a later date). And if you had bread or pastry during the day (e.g. for breakfast), sensible thing to do is to leave pasta for tomorrow.
