About Pasta squares

Pasta Squares are a versatile and hearty food made from a simple dough of flour, eggs, water, and sometimes olive oil. Originating from Italian cuisine, they are a key ingredient in dishes like lasagna, ravioli, or folded into soups. These tender and flavorful squares of pasta provide a source of carbohydrates, which serve as a reliable energy boost. When made with whole grains, they also deliver dietary fiber and essential nutrients. However, traditional variations may be lower in fiber and higher in refined starches. Depending on preparation, they can be paired with nutrient-dense ingredients like fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and herbs for a balanced meal. Consider portion size and toppings to moderate calorie and fat intake with cream-based sauces or rich cheeses. Pasta Squares are beloved for their ability to absorb flavors and highlight the richness of time-honored Italian cooking traditions.
