About Tricolour pasta

Tricolour pasta is a vibrant variation of traditional pasta, featuring three distinct hues: white, green, and red. Its colors come from natural ingredients like durum wheat (white), spinach (green), and tomato or paprika (red), making it as visually appealing as it is flavorful. Rooted in Italian cuisine, it reflects the country's culinary artistry and love for bold, simple ingredients. Tricolour pasta is a source of complex carbohydrates, which provide sustained energy, and contains a modest amount of protein, especially when paired with complementary sauces or toppings. While it’s relatively low in fat, it can be high in calories depending on portion size and added ingredients. Whole-grain options boost its fiber content, supporting digestion and heart health. However, its nutritional profile may vary; choosing lighter sauces and fresh vegetables makes it a healthier choice while preserving its authentic Italian charm.
