About Pasta and tomato sauce
Pasta with tomato sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, beloved for its simplicity and flavor. It typically combines pasta—made from durum wheat semolina or whole wheat—with a sauce of ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and aromatic herbs like basil or oregano. This dish is often enhanced with optional ingredients like grated cheese or vegetables. Nutritionally, it provides a balance of carbohydrates from the pasta for energy, along with vitamins A and C, and antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes. Whole wheat pasta offers added fiber and nutrients compared to the refined version. By using olive oil instead of butter, the dish incorporates heart-healthy fats. While generally wholesome, potential downsides include high calorie content when consumed in large portions or prepared with excessive cheese or cream. Moderation and the inclusion of fresh, unprocessed ingredients make this dish a satisfying and nourishing meal choice.
