About Neapolitan sauce

Neapolitan sauce, or "salsa napoletana," is a classic tomato-based sauce originating from Naples, Italy, and is a staple of Italian cuisine. Traditionally made with simple ingredients like ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and fresh basil, it embodies the essence of Mediterranean cooking. Occasionally, onions or oregano are added for extra depth. This sauce is naturally low in fat and rich in vitamins A and C, due to its tomato base, which also provides antioxidants like lycopene. Olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while garlic offers potential anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. While typically low in calories, nutritional content may vary depending on added sugars or excess oil. Pairing Neapolitan sauce with whole-grain pasta or vegetables can make a balanced dish, although moderation is advised when combined with high-carb or fatty accompaniments. Simple yet flavorful, Neapolitan sauce celebrates health-conscious eating and authentic Italian tradition.
