Homemade spaghetti sauce is a flavorful and versatile staple of Italian cuisine, crafted with simple, wholesome ingredients. Typically, it features ripe tomatoes as the base, enhanced with garlic, onions, olive oil, and a mix of aromatic herbs such as basil, oregano, and parsley. Some recipes may include additional vegetables like bell peppers and carrots, or lean ground meat for added texture and protein. This sauce is a healthier alternative to store-bought versions as it avoids excess sugars, preservatives, and sodium. Rich in vitamins A and C from tomatoes and containing antioxidants from herbs and garlic, it supports heart health and immune function. However, its healthiness can vary depending on the oil quantity or any added fats like cream or cheese. Pairing it with whole-grain pasta can further boost fiber content for a balanced meal.
