About Pasta and sauce

Pasta and sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, featuring a base of durum wheat pasta paired with a variety of flavorful sauces. Common sauces include tomato-based marinara, creamy alfredo, or oil-based pesto, often enhanced with herbs, garlic, vegetables, meats, or cheeses. Pasta is a substantial source of carbohydrates, providing energy, while whole grain or legume-based pastas offer added fiber and nutrients. Tomato-based sauces are typically low in fat and rich in vitamins like A and C, while cream-based sauces can be high in saturated fats and calories. Adding vegetables or lean proteins can boost the dish's nutritional value. Moderation in portion sizes and ingredient choices can help balance its healthfulness while still delivering the dish’s comforting, versatile flavors.
