About Spaghetti with tomato sauce and mozzarella

Spaghetti with tomato sauce and mozzarella is a classic Italian-inspired dish that combines simple, wholesome ingredients. The base is spaghetti, a type of pasta made from durum wheat, topped with a rich tomato sauce often seasoned with garlic, basil, and olive oil. Fresh mozzarella cheese adds creaminess and a mild, savory flavor. Tomatoes are a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants like lycopene, which promote heart health. Olive oil contributes healthy fats, while basil provides a boost of vitamins and minerals. However, the refined carbohydrates in spaghetti and the fat content in mozzarella should be enjoyed in moderation. Opting for whole-grain pasta and part-skim mozzarella can add fiber and reduce saturated fat, making this dish a nutritious option when prepared thoughtfully. Perfectly balancing flavor and health, this meal captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.
