La valeur nutritive varie quelque peu en fonction des ingrédients qui composent les pâtes (céréales entières, œufs, poudre de lait, légumes) et du degré de cuisson. Des pâtes très cuites contiennent légèrement moins de vitamines du complexe B que des pâtes fermes, car vu qu'il s'agit de vitamines hydrosolubles, une plus grande quantité d'éléments nutritifs passe donc dans l'eau de cuisson. 2, record 2, French, - valeur%20nutritionnelle
