About Spaghetti with marinara sauce and parmesan cheese

Spaghetti with marinara sauce and Parmesan cheese is a classic Italian-inspired dish that combines simple yet flavorful ingredients. The dish features cooked spaghetti, al dente for the ideal texture, lightly coated in a rich tomato-based marinara sauce made with ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and a blend of Italian herbs such as basil and oregano. A sprinkling of freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a savory, nutty finish. This meal is a good source of carbohydrates for energy, while the marinara sauce provides vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes. Olive oil adds heart-healthy fats. However, the dish can be high in calories and sodium depending on portion size and sauce preparation. To keep it balanced, pair it with a side of vegetables or a salad and opt for whole-grain spaghetti to boost its fiber content.
