About Pasta and marinara sauce

Pasta with marinara sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and versatility. Typically made with durum wheat pasta and a tomato-based marinara sauce, it incorporates basic ingredients such as crushed tomatoes, garlic, onions, olive oil, and a blend of herbs like basil and oregano. The dish provides carbohydrates from the pasta, an essential energy source, and is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants like lycopene from the tomatoes. Opting for whole wheat pasta adds dietary fiber and nutrients. However, depending on portion sizes and added elements like cheese or extra oil, it can become higher in calories and fat. Moderation and mindful preparation make pasta with marinara sauce a heart-healthy, satisfying meal suitable for a variety of diets.
