Portion size was the key for me. I stopped feeling heavy and lethargic after pasta meals once I started weighting my pasta before eating.
This made a world of difference on my state after eating and, by contrast, helped me realise how heavy I usually felt after eating (80g of uncooked pasta seem to be a good balance for me).

When I cooked professionally in Rome, we weighed out 50g for Italians and 100g for Americans in terms of planning large buffet/group lunches (combined with options for soup and 6-7 different salad or veggie dishes). I've found that 75g hits the spot for me.
