About Bow tie pasta with tomato sauce

Bow Tie Pasta with Tomato Sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, known for its simplicity and vibrant flavors. The pasta, shaped like small, elegant bows, pairs perfectly with a rich tomato-based sauce, often prepared using ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs such as basil or oregano. Additional optional ingredients may include onions, parmesan cheese, or a protein like ground turkey or chicken. This dish delivers a good source of carbohydrates from the pasta, fueling energy, while the tomato sauce provides vitamins like C and A, along with antioxidants like lycopene. Opting for whole-grain pasta boosts fiber content, aiding digestion and heart health. Olive oil contributes healthy fats, though portions should be moderated to avoid excessive calories. While delicious, it may be higher in sodium depending on preparation, making low-sodium options or homemade sauce ideal for a healthier balance.
