Pasta is a versatile dish originating from Italy, made primarily from durum wheat and water, and often served with a variety of sauces, vegetables, proteins, and cheeses. Common variations include tomato-based marinara, creamy Alfredo, or oil-based pesto, with popular additions like garlic, basil, spinach, chicken, shrimp, or mushrooms. Pasta provides a good source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and can also include fiber if whole-grain varieties are used. Protein and essential vitamins can be added through lean meats, legumes, or vegetables. However, rich cream sauces and excessive cheese contribute saturated fats and calories, making portion control important. Choosing whole-grain pasta, incorporating plenty of veggies, and opting for lighter sauces like olive oil or tomato can make this dish a balanced and nutritious option.
