About Spaghetti alla chitarra

Spaghetti alla Chitarra is a traditional pasta dish rooted in Italian cuisine, particularly from the Abruzzo region. The pasta is made using a unique tool called a "chitarra," which gives it a square shape and slightly rough texture, perfect for holding onto sauces. Its dough typically consists of semolina flour and eggs, providing a rich source of protein and energy. Often served with tomato-based sauces, olive oil, garlic, or meat, the dish highlights simple, wholesome ingredients. The inclusion of olive oil and tomatoes adds heart-healthy fats and antioxidants like lycopene, promoting overall well-being. However, the calorie and fat content can increase if paired with creamy or meat-heavy sauces, which should be consumed in moderation. Spaghetti alla Chitarra embodies the essence of Mediterranean dining, balancing robust flavors with nutritional value.
