Spaghetti is a classic pasta made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, originating from Italian cuisine. Known for its long, thin shape, it serves as a versatile base for countless dishes, often paired with tomato-based sauces, olive oil, meat, or vegetables. Spaghetti is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and contains small amounts of protein and fiber, especially if made from whole wheat. Whole-grain versions are richer in nutrients like B vitamins and iron, aiding digestion and overall health. While traditional spaghetti is low in fat, its nutritional value largely depends on preparation. Creamy or heavy sauces may increase calorie and saturated fat content, whereas simple tomato or vegetable-based sauces offer a lighter, vitamin-rich option. When consumed in moderation and combined with nutrient-dense toppings, spaghetti can be a satisfying and balanced component of a meal.
