About Flat pasta

Flat pasta, a versatile staple in Italian cuisine, is crafted from a simple mixture of durum wheat semolina and water, though eggs are commonly added in some varieties for a richer texture. Known for its smooth, broad shape, flat pasta types include fettuccine, tagliatelle, and lasagna sheets, serving as the foundation for numerous classic dishes. Nutritionally, flat pasta is a good source of carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, and contains protein, particularly in egg-based versions. Whole-grain or enriched varieties offer additional fiber and nutrients like magnesium and iron. However, traditional flat pasta is relatively high in calories and low in fiber compared to its whole-grain counterparts, and its healthfulness depends heavily on preparation. Pairing it with lean proteins, vegetables, and olive oil can create balanced, nutrient-rich meals, while heavy cream sauces may add saturated fats and excess calories. Choose wisely to enjoy flat pasta as part of a nourishing diet.
