Spaghetti with tomato sauce is a classic Italian dish that has become a global favorite. It features simple ingredients: spaghetti pasta, a robust tomato-based sauce made from fresh or canned tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and a mix of seasonings such as basil and oregano. Variations may include added vegetables or lean protein like grilled chicken or seafood. This dish is a great source of carbohydrates for energy, with tomatoes providing antioxidants like lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium. Olive oil contributes healthy fats, while herbs add flavor without extra sodium. To make it healthier, whole-grain spaghetti can be used for added fiber, and keeping portion sizes moderate helps manage calorie intake. However, some versions may be high in sodium or fat if cheese, cream, or processed meats are added. It’s a versatile, nourishing comfort food that can be easily adapted to suit different dietary preferences.
