About Pasta in marinara sauce

Pasta in Marinara Sauce is a classic Italian dish known for its simplicity and rich flavors. It features al dente pasta, typically made from durum wheat, topped with a vibrant marinara sauce crafted from tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and a medley of herbs like basil and oregano. This dish is a staple of Mediterranean cuisine and offers nutritional benefits such as being a good source of energy from the carbohydrates in the pasta and antioxidants from the tomatoes. The olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while the garlic and herbs add anti-inflammatory properties. However, the healthiness depends on portion size and additional ingredients; excessive pasta or high-sodium sauces may reduce its nutritional value. When enjoyed in moderation with whole-grain pasta or added vegetables, Pasta in Marinara Sauce is a wholesome and satisfying meal.
