Pasta originated as a grain, and acts like a grain in many ways, but has it's own unique character. It's premade from flour, dried (or not), cooked in water, then drained and subjected to various improvements, as a grain would be.
Grains like rice can be happily eaten all by themselves, but pasta cries out for herbs, olive oil, sauces, veggies, cheeses, and other additions to be complete. That's why pasta is known to be fattening!
It's not the pasta itself that's fattening, it's what you eat with it, and how much you eat of it. For instance, a small serving of cooked pasta is 1/2 cup, and around 110 calories. Seriously! But that's before the oil, cheese, sauce etc.
If whole grains are good, then logically, whole grain pasta must also be A Good Thing. However, Some People can't understand why anyone would do that to pasta, and prefer to eat traditional white pasta. Do whatever suits you, and enjoy your pasta!
