About Pasta half a cup
Pasta, half a cup, typically refers to cooked pasta made from durum wheat semolina, water, and sometimes eggs, depending on the variety. Originating from Italian cuisine, pasta is a versatile and globally cherished staple known for its ability to complement a wide range of sauces, vegetables, and proteins. A half-cup serving provides around 100 calories, primarily from complex carbohydrates, which can be a good source of energy. It contains small amounts of protein and iron, and may also offer fiber if made from whole wheat or enriched flour. While pasta is low in fat and sodium on its own, pairing it with heavy cream-based sauces or excess cheese can add significant calories and cholesterol. Choosing whole-grain pasta, controlling portion size, and balancing it with nutrient-rich ingredients can make this dish a healthier choice for maintaining energy and supporting digestion.
