Many authentic Italian dishes are nutritious and can align with health goals. Dietitians recommend choosing pasta dishes that include carbohydrates, protein, fiber, and moderate fat. Options like tomato-based sauces paired with lean proteins and vegetables are ideal. Whole-grain, legume-based, or veggie-fortified pasta is preferable for added fiber and protein. Tomato sauces are lighter than cream-based options, making them a better choice for a balanced meal.
