Pasta Sauce
Pasta Sauce is a tomato-based sauce used in Italian and Italian-American cooking, most often tossed with pasta but also spooned over baked dishes, vegetables, and meat. It’s known for its savory, herby flavor and its role as a simple all-purpose base for many meals. Nutritionally, Pasta Sauce is usually fairly light, with moderate energy and a small amount of fiber from tomatoes and other vegetables. It can also contribute useful plant compounds such as lycopene, along with some minerals and a little unsaturated fat depending on the recipe. Overall, it’s a solid everyday sauce choice, especially when paired with whole-grain pasta or plenty of vegetables.
