Sugo, originating from Italian cuisine, is a rich tomato-based sauce commonly used to enhance pasta dishes. Traditionally crafted from ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and fresh herbs like basil or oregano, sugo embodies simplicity and bold flavor. Some variations include vegetables, meat, or wine for added depth. Its nutritional profile is generally healthy: tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like lycopene, vitamin C, and potassium, contributing to heart health and immune support. Olive oil provides healthy fats that promote cardiovascular well-being, while herbs and garlic offer anti-inflammatory properties. However, sugo’s health benefits can vary based on preparation; high amounts of salt, sugar, or saturated fats in processed versions might diminish its nutritional value. Opting for homemade sugo with fresh ingredients ensures it remains a wholesome addition to meals, characteristic of the Mediterranean diet and its emphasis on balanced nutrition.
