Pasta with a cream-based sauce is a rich and indulgent dish rooted in Italian cuisine. Typically made with pasta varieties like fettuccine or penne, this dish features a luxurious sauce crafted from ingredients such as heavy cream, butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic. It may also include proteins like chicken or shrimp, along with vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or peas. While delightfully creamy and comforting, the dish tends to be high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium, making portion control important for a balanced diet. On the positive side, it can provide essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and carbohydrates, and adding vegetables boosts fiber and vitamins. For a healthier twist, consider using whole-grain pasta, lighter dairy options, or plant-based alternatives to the cream.
