About Pasta with marinara sauce

Pasta with marinara sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, known for its simplicity and bold flavors. The base is made of pasta, typically made from durum wheat, paired with marinara sauce—a savory blend of ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and herbs like basil and oregano. This dish is a source of carbohydrates, providing quick energy, while the tomato-based sauce offers vitamins like A and C, along with antioxidants such as lycopene. Olive oil in the sauce contributes healthy fats. However, its nutritional profile may vary depending on portion size and additional ingredients like cheese, cream, or meat, which can increase calories, saturated fats, and sodium. Opting for whole-grain pasta boosts fiber content, supporting digestion and heart health. Pasta with marinara sauce is a versatile dish that can be customized for a nutritious, balanced meal or indulgent comfort food.
