About Plain pasta

Plain pasta is a simple and versatile staple originating from Italian cuisine, made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water. Available in various shapes like spaghetti, penne, or fusilli, it serves as a blank canvas for countless dishes. Nutritionally, plain pasta is a carbohydrate-rich food, providing a quick source of energy. It contains minimal fat and no cholesterol, making it heart-friendly in moderation. Pasta also offers small amounts of protein and key micronutrients such as iron and B vitamins, depending on the type of flour used. Its glycemic index varies, with whole-grain pasta offering a healthier, fiber-rich option that supports digestion and steady blood sugar levels. While plain pasta on its own is low in calories, the healthiness of a dish often depends on the toppings and sauces added. Balance it with vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats for a nutritious meal.
