About Cheesy pasta
Cheesy Pasta is a rich and comforting dish that combines pasta, typically made from durum wheat, with a creamy cheese sauce. The dish often features a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan, along with milk, butter, and flour for a velvety texture. Originating from Italian-inspired cuisine, cheesy pasta has become a global comfort food with variations like mac and cheese or baked ziti. It provides a good source of energy from carbohydrates and calcium from cheese, supporting bone health. However, it can be high in saturated fats, sodium, and calories, depending on the recipe. Healthier options include using whole-grain pasta, low-fat cheese, and adding vegetables like spinach or broccoli for additional nutrients. Whether enjoyed as a main course or side dish, cheesy pasta offers indulgent flavor balanced with opportunities for nutritional enhancements.
