About Pasta with cream sauce
Pasta with cream sauce is a rich dish commonly found in Italian-inspired cuisine. It features tender, cooked pasta—such as fettuccine or penne—coated in a velvety sauce made from cream, butter, and often grated Parmesan cheese. Some variations include garlic, herbs, and protein additions like chicken or seafood. While indulgent, this dish is highly satisfying and offers a good source of carbohydrates from the pasta, which can provide energy. The cream sauce, however, is calorie-dense due to its high fat content, and sodium levels can be elevated depending on the cheese used. Adding vegetables like spinach or mushrooms can boost the nutritional profile, offering fiber and vitamins. Moderation and portion control are key to enjoying pasta with cream sauce as part of a balanced diet. It’s a comforting and versatile dish best appreciated occasionally and paired with lighter sides.
