About Pasta with tomato sauce and chicken

Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Chicken is a flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, combining wholesome ingredients for a satisfying meal. This dish features tender chicken as a lean protein source, paired with al dente pasta, traditionally made from durum wheat, which provides sustained energy from complex carbohydrates. The rich tomato sauce, often prepared with ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs like basil or oregano, is packed with antioxidants, including lycopene, which supports heart health. This meal is a good balance of protein, carbs, and nutrients, making it a hearty option for lunch or dinner. For a healthier twist, opt for whole-grain pasta to boost fiber content and use grilled or baked chicken to minimize added fats. While it can be high in sodium depending on the sauce used, preparing it at home allows for better control over ingredients and nutritional value.
