About Dry pasta
Dry pasta is a staple ingredient commonly associated with Italian cuisine but enjoyed worldwide for its versatility and ease of preparation. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, it is rich in carbohydrates, which provide a steady source of energy. Some varieties may also be enriched with vitamins and minerals like iron and B vitamins, boosting their nutritional value. Dry pasta is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice when consumed in moderation. Whole-grain or high-protein options are available for those seeking added fiber or better glycemic control. However, its calorie density requires careful portioning, especially when paired with high-fat sauces or ingredients. Whether shaped as spaghetti, penne, or fusilli, dry pasta serves as the foundation for countless balanced and flavorful dishes, appreciating its role in both traditional and modern diets worldwide.
