Pasta in Red Sauce is a classic Italian dish made with tender pasta coated in a rich tomato-based sauce. The sauce typically features ingredients like ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and a blend of herbs such as basil and oregano, often enhanced with a touch of salt and pepper. Some versions may include vegetables, lean proteins, or cheese for added flavor and nutrition. This dish is a good source of complex carbohydrates from the pasta and antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes. However, its healthfulness depends on portion size, the type of pasta used (whole grain options offer more fiber), and the amount of added oil, cheese, or salt. A balanced serving can be a nutritious and satisfying meal, embodying the vibrant flavors and wholesome ingredients of Mediterranean cuisine.
