About Pasta with tomato sauce and cheese
Pasta with tomato sauce and cheese is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine that has become a global favorite. It consists of cooked pasta, typically made from durum wheat, topped with a simple tomato sauce seasoned with garlic, onions, and herbs like basil or oregano. A layer of grated cheese—often mozzarella or Parmesan—adds creamy richness. This meal provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy and features tomatoes, which are rich in antioxidants like lycopene and vitamin C. The optional addition of olive oil in the sauce supplies heart-healthy fats. However, the dish can be high in calories and saturated fat, especially when large amounts of cheese are used or if paired with creamy sauces. Whole-grain pasta and reduced-fat cheese may help make this comforting favorite a healthier option while retaining its satisfying flavors.
