About Pasta and red sauce
Pasta with red sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, celebrated worldwide for its simplicity and comforting flavors. It typically consists of cooked pasta, such as spaghetti or penne, topped with a tomato-based sauce made from ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and herbs like basil and oregano. Variations may include added vegetables, lean proteins, or cheese for extra flavor. The dish is a source of carbohydrates from the pasta, providing energy, while the tomato sauce offers vitamins A, C, and antioxidants like lycopene, which may support heart health and immunity. Whole-grain pasta options can increase fiber content, benefiting digestion. However, high-calorie additions like excessive cheese or meat can raise saturated fat levels, and portion size is key to maintaining a balanced meal. For a healthier version, opt for whole-grain pasta and a sauce made with minimal oil and fresh ingredients.
