About Tomato sauce for pasta
Tomato sauce for pasta is a versatile and flavorful staple in Italian cuisine. Made primarily from ripe tomatoes, this sauce often includes ingredients like garlic, olive oil, onions, herbs such as basil and oregano, and sometimes a pinch of sugar to balance acidity. Rich in vitamins A and C, as well as potassium, tomatoes provide antioxidants like lycopene, which is linked to heart health and reduced inflammation. Olive oil adds healthy monounsaturated fats, while herbs contribute micronutrients and flavor. However, some store-bought versions may contain added salt, sugar, or preservatives, which can diminish its health benefits. Opting for homemade variations or lower-sodium options can make this sauce an excellent choice for a nutrient-rich addition to pasta dishes. Easily tailored with vegetables, lean protein, or whole-grain pasta, it serves as a delicious and adaptable component of balanced meals.
