Carbo loading is about a week long process of first depleting muscle glycogen with a strict low-carbo diet, and then supercompensating to shock your system into increased muscle glycogen storage with several days of extremely high-carbo eating.

I don't think pasta dinners one or even three nights before an event are anything but good mojo.
