Pastas: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a wide variety of pasta products, from dried spaghetti and penne to fresh filled pastas like ravioli and tortellini, and ready meals containing pasta. Pasta is a source of carbohydrate, providing energy. When choosing pasta, consider the ingredients list. For dried pasta, wholewheat or wholemeal varieties are a good source of fibre. For fresh or ready-made pasta dishes, check the nutrition label. Pay attention to the amount of salt, as some products can be high in it. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends that foods high in fat, salt and sugar should be eaten less often and in small amounts. Look for options lower in salt, and where fat content is a concern, consider those lower in saturates. For filled and ready-made pastas, the position of ingredients like cheese, meat, or vegetables can give an indication of their proportion in the product.
