Fusilli with Tomato Sauce is a classic Italian dish that combines spiral-shaped pasta with a rich and vibrant tomato-based sauce. The pasta, traditionally made from durum wheat, is cooked al dente and perfectly absorbs the flavors of the sauce. The tomato sauce typically includes ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and a blend of aromatic herbs like basil and oregano, offering a balance of tangy and savory notes. This dish is a good source of carbohydrates for energy, while the tomato sauce provides essential vitamins such as vitamin C and lycopene, an antioxidant known for its potential health benefits. When prepared with extra virgin olive oil, it contributes healthy fats that support heart health. However, the dish may be calorie-dense if overly laden with oil or cheese. Opting for whole-grain fusilli can boost its fiber content, making it an even healthier choice for balanced nutrition.
