I lived in Italy for many years and I could notice that people over there aren't fat. And they eat pasta everyday. How come a lot of people say that pasta is fattening? Do you believe in this statement?

I don't think it's that fattening if you eat it in moderate quantities and watch what you put on it. Very few people eat pasta plain, and a lot of sauces are fattening, with things like meat, sausage, cheese, cream, etc. That's where the real fat content of pasta comes from.
