About Pasta with white sauce

Pasta with white sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, known for its creamy and comforting flavor profile. The white sauce, typically referred to as béchamel, is made from butter, flour, and milk, often seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Variations may include Parmesan cheese, garlic, or herbs for added depth. Served over pasta like fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti, this dish is rich in carbohydrates and fat due to its core ingredients. While it provides energy and calcium from dairy, its high calorie and saturated fat content can be a concern if consumed excessively. Pairing it with vegetables, lean protein, or whole grain pasta can enhance its nutritional value by adding fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Pasta with white sauce is a versatile meal that balances indulgence with opportunities for a healthier twist.
