About Half a cup of pasta sauce
Half a cup of pasta sauce typically serves as a flavorful base in various cuisines, particularly Italian dishes like spaghetti, lasagna, or penne. It commonly includes tomatoes as the primary ingredient, often blended with herbs such as basil, oregano, and garlic, and may incorporate olive oil, onions, and occasionally sugar or salt to enhance its taste. Depending on the recipe, variations might include added vegetables or meats. Nutritionally, it is a rich source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant found in cooked tomatoes, which supports heart health and reduces inflammation. Many varieties are low in calories and fat, making them a light option for meals. However, some store-bought versions may be high in sodium or added sugars, so checking labels is important for a balanced diet. Opting for homemade or low-sodium varieties can maximize health benefits while minimizing processed ingredients.
