About Makarna

Makarna, the Turkish term for pasta, is a versatile staple made from durum wheat semolina and water, often enriched with vitamins and minerals. Originating from Italian cuisine but embraced globally, makarna is a beloved dish in Turkish households, commonly served with tomato-based sauces, yogurt, or olive oil. It is a source of complex carbohydrates, providing energy and satiety, while its variations with whole wheat offer added fiber for digestive health. Additionally, it contains small amounts of protein and iron. However, makarna's nutritional profile largely depends on its preparation. Sauces high in cream, butter, or salt can increase calorie and fat content, making portion control key. Pairing makarna with vegetables, lean proteins, and moderate sauces can transform it into a balanced meal suited for a healthy diet. Its adaptability and simplicity make it a popular, practical comfort food across cultures.
