Massa Cozida, a staple dish in Portuguese cuisine, refers to boiled pasta typically served as a side or integrated into soups, stews, or salads. The pasta used is often simple wheat-based varieties, such as macaroni or penne, boiled in salted water until tender. While Massa Cozida is a versatile and comforting dish, its nutritional profile depends on preparation and pairings. Pasta is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but can be high in refined grains unless whole wheat options are chosen. Adding vegetables, lean proteins, or olive oil boosts the dish’s fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats, making it a more balanced meal. However, it’s traditionally paired with richer ingredients like sausages or oils, which may increase calorie and fat content. To enjoy Massa Cozida in a healthy way, opt for whole grain pasta and lighter, nutrient-dense toppings.
