Pasta with marinara is a classic dish from Italian cuisine, beloved for its simplicity and rich flavors. This meal features cooked pasta—often spaghetti or penne—topped with a vibrant marinara sauce made from tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and Italian herbs like basil and oregano. It’s a vegetarian-friendly dish, offering a source of energy-rich carbohydrates from the pasta and essential vitamins like potassium, vitamin C, and lycopene from the tomatoes in the sauce. Choose whole-grain pasta for added fiber and nutrients, making it a heart-healthy option. However, traditional marinara can be high in sodium depending on preparation, so moderate portions are recommended. Adding vegetables or lean protein can boost its nutritional profile, creating a balanced and wholesome meal. Pasta with marinara is a quick, versatile option suitable for many diets, and its comforting flavors make it a timeless favorite.
