About Aligue pasta

Aligue Pasta is a rich and flavorful dish originating from Filipino cuisine, celebrated for its indulgent use of crab fat, known locally as “aligue.” The pasta is typically tossed in a creamy, savory sauce made from crab fat, garlic, onions, and oil, with optional toppings like chili, lemon juice, or herbs to balance its richness. While incredibly decadent, crab fat is high in cholesterol and saturated fats, making the dish better suited as an occasional treat rather than a daily meal. On the positive side, aligue contains some essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A and B, which support heart and brain health. This dish is an emblem of Filipino culinary artistry, offering an intensely satisfying taste while highlighting the importance of moderation in enjoying its luxurious ingredients.
