About Bowtie pasta with meat sauce

Bowtie Pasta with Meat Sauce, also known as Farfalle al Ragù, is a hearty Italian-inspired dish that combines tender bowtie-shaped pasta with a rich, savory meat sauce. The pasta's unique shape is designed to hold onto the sauce, ensuring every bite is flavorful. Typically, the meat sauce is made from ground beef or pork, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs like basil and oregano, and olive oil, though variations may include vegetables like carrots or celery for added nutrients. It's a good source of protein from the meat and carbohydrates from the pasta, providing energy and satiety. While it may be high in calories and sodium depending on preparation, it can be adapted for healthier eating by using lean meats, whole wheat pasta, or reduced-sodium ingredients. This dish is perfect as a comforting main course or a satisfying family meal with roots in traditional Italian cuisine.
