About Fusilli pasta with meat sauce

**Fusilli Pasta With Meat Sauce** Fusilli pasta with meat sauce is a comforting dish rooted in Italian cuisine, featuring spiral-shaped pasta tossed in a flavorful, savory tomato-based meat sauce. The sauce is typically made using ground beef or pork, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and a blend of herbs like oregano and basil. This dish provides a source of protein from the meat and carbohydrates from the pasta, making it a hearty meal. Whole wheat fusilli can be used for added fiber, and crushed tomatoes contribute antioxidants like lycopene. However, traditional versions may be high in sodium and saturated fats depending on preparation methods. To make it more balanced, leaner meats and reduced-sodium ingredients can be substituted. Pairing with vegetables or a side salad can enhance its nutritional profile while adding essential vitamins and minerals. A delicious, satisfying dish that can be adapted for healthier choices.
