From spaghetti to farfalle, pappardelle to paccheri, when it comes to pasta, there’s no shortage of options to choose from. In fact, there are more than 400—no, that’s not a typo—types of pasta in Italy, each kind distinguished by size, shape and purpose (some are designed to be stuffed or filled, for example).

When you think of the Italian diet, what first comes to mind?

Pasta and pizza, right? While you wouldn’t be totally wrong (they are traditional Italian dishes, after all), there is so much more to Italian food beyond carbs and cheese.

With summer winding down and September just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about back-to-school preparations—establishing new morning routines, adjusting to earlier wake-up times, and ensuring kids are fed something filling and nutritious before heading off to school for the day.

But breakfast doesn’t have to be hard in order to be just what your kid needs to kick-start their morning. After all, the last thing you need in that morning rush to get ready on time is one more thing to worry about.
