Can dogs eat Pasta & macaroni?

Feed this food cooked.
What kind of food is this?
Cooked, pasta has 150kcal, 32.2g carbohydrate, and 5.8g protein per 100g.
Macaroni is the same wheat pasta; only the shape differs. The Japanese food composition tables list macaroni and spaghetti as a single entry, "macaroni and spaghetti," with the same figures.
Because it absorbs water when boiled, its nutrient density per 100g is lower than dry pasta.
How to serve
Boil without salt and cut into short pieces.

In food-energetics terms
In food therapy, this is classified as 'cooling.' It is said to gently cool the body and is often chosen when the body is holding excess heat.
(Food energetics is a long-standing idea of supporting the body through everyday meals. Treat it as one extra hint alongside the nutrition numbers.)
