About Gemelli
Gemelli is a type of pasta originating from Italian cuisine, known for its signature twisted shape resembling two strands wrapped together. Despite its intricate appearance, it is made from simple ingredients: typically durum wheat semolina and water, with some variations including eggs. Its shape is ideal for holding onto sauces, making it a versatile choice for dishes ranging from creamy to tomato-based preparations. Nutritionally, Gemelli is rich in carbohydrates, providing a quick source of energy, and contains small amounts of protein and fiber. Whole wheat versions are available for added fiber and nutrients. While traditional Gemelli is low in fat and cholesterol, the healthiness of a dish depends on the sauce and ingredients paired with it. Moderation is key, especially for individuals watching their carbohydrate intake, but this pasta can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet when complemented with vegetables and lean proteins.
