About Orecchiette pasta with tomato sauce
Orecchiette Pasta with Tomato Sauce is a classic Italian dish originating from the Puglia region. "Orecchiette," meaning "little ears" in Italian, refers to the pasta's distinct concave shape, perfect for holding sauce. The dish typically combines tender orecchiette, a simple tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and sometimes fresh herbs like basil. Optional toppings may include Parmesan cheese or chili flakes for added flavor. This dish offers a good balance of carbohydrates from the pasta and nutrients from the tomatoes, such as vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene, which promote heart health. Olive oil contributes healthy fats, while herbs bring additional vitamins. While nutrient-rich, it can be high in calories if overly portioned or topped with excessive cheese and oil. For a healthier variation, swap refined pasta for whole wheat or add more vegetables to the sauce.
