About Pasta with tomato cream sauce
Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce is a comforting Italian-inspired dish featuring al dente pasta tossed in a creamy tomato-based sauce. The sauce combines ripe tomatoes, heavy cream, garlic, onion, olive oil, and a touch of Parmesan cheese for richness, with optional seasonings like basil or oregano for extra flavor. While this dish captures the heart of Italian cuisine with its balance of fresh and indulgent ingredients, its nutritional profile depends on the preparation. Tomatoes provide antioxidants like lycopene, olive oil offers healthy fats, and whole-grain pasta can boost fiber content. However, the heavy cream and cheese contribute saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. To make it lighter, consider substituting cream with a plant-based alternative or reducing cheese. Perfect as a quick, satisfying meal, this dish brings together simplicity and indulgence, making it suitable for occasional enjoyment as part of a balanced diet.
