Does dried pasta have added sugar?
I was wondering if dried pasta such as penne or spaghetti had added sugar or other artificial ingredients?

annefood 8yr Hey @Sim ! Dried pasta shouldn't contain any added sugar (or artificial ingredients). Typically the added sugar comes into play in jarred sauce—surprisingly, many tomato sauces have a lot of added sugar, so be sure to check the label. -
Sim 8yr Thank you @annefood, looks like I'll be making my own pasta sauces from now on. -
annefood 8yr You're welcome @Sim ! Making your own sauce is the definitely the best way to ensure good ingredients. Plus it's easy to freeze and have on hand. But when you are short of time and don't have any homemade, try the "Rao's Homemade" brand. It's available in many grocery stores and most contains less than 10 ingredients—all real, no sugar or artificial ingredients or preservatives added. Great to know in a pinch!
