White pasta is a popular staple in Italian cuisine, widely enjoyed across the globe. Made primarily from refined wheat flour, water, and sometimes eggs, it is known for its smooth texture and versatility in pairing with various sauces and ingredients. While white pasta provides energy through carbohydrates and contains small amounts of protein, fiber content is significantly lower compared to whole-grain alternatives, which can affect its overall health profile. It lacks the nutrient density found in less processed grains, as most of the bran and germ are removed during the refining process. That said, it can still be a part of a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation and combined with nutrient-rich toppings such as vegetables, lean proteins, and heart-healthy fats. White pasta’s easy digestibility and consistent texture make it a favored choice in comforting dishes like spaghetti, fettuccine Alfredo, and lasagna.
