Stella Blu Celebrates The Health Benefits of Pasta With Specials

Rigatoni lovers rejoice! Despite years of being told that pasta can wreak havoc on our diets, a July 5 report issued by Italian researchers at the IRCCS Neuromed Institute, just debunked that centuries old myth. In fact, after studying the diets of 23,000 people, they found that pasta is actually linked to a decrease in body mass index — and that's not the only benefit. It also contributes to a healthier body mass index, lower waist circumference and better waist-hip ratio. Now that’s something to celebrate!

In honor of these new findings, Stella Blu (101 Ford Street) is offering a pasta special this summer Monday through Wednesday nights with eight signature dishes for just $9-$15. The menu includes:

Spaghetti

Crab meat, fra diavolo sauce $15

Bucatini

White beans, escarole, sweet sausage $10

Linguini

Pesto, sundried tomatoes $10

Capellini

Fresh Jersey tomatoes and basil in a garlic aioli $9

Select red wines will also be available by the glass as part of the special.
