Interesting that the blurb at the start of the recipes extolled the virtues of "whole grain pasta" yet the recipe pictures look pretty much like the normal refined white stuff! Personally I have tried and rejected whole grain stuff pasta, much preferring good quality white pasta.
For us pasta isn't something that we eat all the time, and personally I don't think that eating white pasta a couple of times a week is a sin - particularly if the sauce contains lots of lovely veg along with meat and/or low-fat cheese.
I remember hearing a nutritionist on the TV recently talking about pasta, and she said that re-heating cold pasta made it lower on the Glycemic Index - i.e. reheated pasta takes longer to digest, so keeping blood sugar levels more even and keeping you full for longer.
