Wagon Wheels Pasta, also known as "rotelle," is a playful, wheel-shaped pasta originating from Italian cuisine. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, this pasta is firm and versatile, holding up well in sauces and baked dishes. Its unique design is fun for kids and great for capturing thicker sauces, vegetable chunks, or cheese in its "spokes." Nutritionally, Wagon Wheels Pasta is a source of carbohydrates that provide energy and includes some protein, especially if fortified. Whole wheat versions are available, offering more fiber and nutrients like B vitamins and iron. While traditional varieties are low in fat and sugar, pairing them with heavy cream-based sauces or excess cheese can add significant calories and saturated fat. For a healthier option, combine Wagon Wheels with tomato-based sauces, lean proteins, and fresh vegetables to create a nutritious and balanced meal for the whole family.
