Read through the sticky on macros and TDEE. You don't need to worry about specific foods as "good" or "bad." Focus on hitting your macros/micros and you're winning 90%+ of the battle. After that you can play around with specific foods/meal timing which may or may not help with performance(highly individual).

Yes.

Unless you're a pastafari... in that case it's divine.

Everything is ok

Yes as the guys said

I put more thought into my surplus amount/weight gaining than the names of the CHO I eat

I would agree with all replies above. It's totally okay, if you recieve enough energy from it and, and if you don't starve after 40 min-1 hour.

As long as you are in a caloric deficit it is ok . The hard thing in leaning is to be consistent over time . One thing that breaks our schedule is hunger and cravings. If we are constantly hungry sometime we will break and not keep our schedule . The drawback with pasta is that it is easily digested and flows our bloodstream with carbs and soon after we feel hungry . If you cannot do without pasta you should opt for brown pasta that takes longer to be “broken” down to carbs and thus extends the sense of saturation.

wut.....caloric deficit in a lean bulk? I think youre confused. You are in a slight caloric surplus in lean bulk.

OP pasta is fine for lean bulk if you like it.
