About Pasta with tomato sauce and prawns

Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Prawns is a flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine, combining al dente pasta with a rich tomato-based sauce and succulent prawns. The sauce typically features ingredients like ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and aromatic herbs such as basil or parsley, which contribute to its bold and fresh taste. Prawns add a lean source of protein and essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats, while the tomatoes offer antioxidants like lycopene. However, portion control is key, as the dish can become calorie-dense depending on the type and amount of pasta used. Opting for whole-grain pasta increases fiber content for better digestion and prolonged satiety. This well-balanced meal delivers a satisfying mix of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, making it both nourishing and delicious when enjoyed in moderation.
