Napolitano sauce, also known as "sugo alla napoletana," is a classic Italian tomato-based sauce originating from Naples. It typically consists of ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onion, and fresh basil, with optional additions such as oregano or a pinch of chili flakes for extra flavor. Some variations may include a splash of red wine or grated cheese for richness. This vegetarian-friendly sauce is naturally low in fat and calories, making it a healthy choice when paired with whole-grain pasta or zoodles. Its fresh ingredients are rich in antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. However, store-bought versions may contain added sugars or sodium, so preparing it at home is a healthier alternative. Napolitano sauce's simplicity and bold flavors have made it a cornerstone of Italian cuisine, enjoyed worldwide in dishes from pizza to pasta.
