Pasta, in its raw form, is a staple food in Italian cuisine, made primarily from wheat flour and water, and sometimes enriched with eggs for added flavor and texture. Simple yet versatile, raw pasta serves as the base for countless dishes. It is high in carbohydrates, which provide a quick energy source, and fortified varieties may include essential nutrients like iron and folic acid. Whole grain versions are a healthier alternative, offering more fiber, vitamins, and minerals compared to traditional refined pasta. However, raw pasta is low in protein and fat, and excessive consumption can spike blood sugar levels, making portion control important. Though not inherently unhealthy, pairing it with nutrient-dense ingredients, such as vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, can enhance its nutritional profile. Cooking raw pasta al dente can also slow digestion and support better blood sugar control while preserving its classic chewy texture.
