While many assume all starches are quick-release, studies show that pasta, especially when cooked al dente, actually has a relatively low glycemic index. This means that contrary to popular belief, pasta is not a quick release carb and provides a slow, sustained energy release. This is due to a unique manufacturing process that creates a dense structure, protecting the starch from rapid digestion.
