About Fusilli pasta with tomato sauce
Fusilli Pasta with Tomato Sauce is a classic Italian dish that combines corkscrew-shaped pasta with a flavorful tomato-based sauce. The sauce typically features ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onion, and herbs like basil or oregano, making it rich in antioxidants, particularly lycopene. Often, optional ingredients like Parmesan cheese or lean protein such as chicken or mushrooms are added for enhanced flavor and nutrition. Fusilli's spiral design holds the sauce beautifully, ensuring each bite is deliciously coated. This meal provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy, vitamins C and A from the tomatoes, and healthy fats if olive oil is used. While it can be a nutritious option, its healthiness depends on portion size and preparation—avoiding excessive cheese or high-sodium canned sauce ensures a more balanced choice. Simple yet satisfying, this dish represents the heart of Italian comfort food.
