Spaghetti noodles are a classic staple of Italian cuisine, made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water. These long, slender strands of pasta are high in carbohydrates, making them an excellent source of quick energy. Standard spaghetti provides small amounts of protein and iron and is typically low in fat. Whole-grain versions add more fiber, aiding digestion and promoting heart health. While versatile and delicious, traditional spaghetti should be consumed in moderation, as refined versions can cause blood sugar spikes if paired with sugary sauces. For optimal nutrition, combine spaghetti with nutrient-rich toppings, such as tomato-based sauces, lean proteins, and vegetables.
