About Pasta
Pasta is a versatile staple food originating from Italy, traditionally made from durum wheat semolina mixed with water or eggs. It comes in various shapes and sizes, including spaghetti, penne, and fusilli, making it a key component of Italian cuisine. Pasta is a rich source of carbohydrates, providing energy to the body, and some varieties, like whole-grain pasta, also offer fiber, which supports digestion and heart health. Additionally, it contains essential nutrients like B vitamins and iron when made from enriched flour. While pasta itself is relatively low in fat and sodium, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation—heavy cream-based sauces and excessive cheese can add calories and unhealthy fats. Pairing pasta with fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and olive oil can make it part of a balanced and nutritious meal. Moderation and mindful portions are essential to incorporate pasta healthily into a diet.
