What makes spaghetti delicious is not only the taste of noodles, but also the sauce. Common pasta sauces can be divided into white sauce, red sauce, green sauce and fried garlic. Let's look at the nutritional components of these four kinds of pasta.
Red sauce pasta "red sauce" is made of large tomatoes with low calories. But because tomatoes are sour fruits, in order to control the overall taste of pasta, many stores will add ketchup and sugar to balance the sour taste. Tomato sauce itself has a high sugar content, so diabetics need to be careful not to accidentally let their blood sugar exceed the standard.
White sauce pasta "white sauce" is made by adding high-fat and high-sugar materials such as cream, flour and whipped cream. Although the taste is very strong and mellow, the calories are relatively high, so try to avoid it when slimming.
Green sauce spaghetti green sauce consists of fresh basil leaves or basil, pine nuts and garlic. When you see this, you will feel that the calories of green sauce should be low. In fact, green sauce is still relatively healthy, but the calories are not low, because green sauce needs to be whipped with a lot of olive oil. Although olive oil is good, it is still high in calories if eaten in large quantities, and many green sauces will add fresh cream to make the taste smoother, so the calories are actually not low.
So people who want to lose weight and are allergic to nuts, it is best to confirm the sauce with the restaurant before ordering!
Stir-fry, stir-fry with garlic, stir-fry with pasta and stir-fry with garlic are a way without sauce, and directly adding a little olive oil and garlic slices to stir-fry is the lowest calorie cooking method. However, don't think that you can be fearless with the lowest calories. In fact, this kind of spaghetti is particularly seasoned to make up for the lack of seasoning in the sauce.
In order to let everyone know the salt intake, the Nutrition Department of the General Hospital of the Three Armies actually measured four kinds of spaghetti: red sauce, white sauce, green sauce and fried garlic. Among them, the salt content of fried noodles with garlic is the highest, reaching the off-charts level of salt. That is to say, as long as one serving of fried noodles with garlic is eaten, the salt intake exceeds 90% of the daily recommended total.
Therefore, it is suggested that patients with kidney disease and hypertension should avoid eating this high-salt spaghetti when eating spaghetti.
Finally, many people like to add mouth-watering grilled cheese to spaghetti. However, at the same time, ultra-high calorie cheese will also make the overall heat triple jump. Here, I also want to remind friends who want to control calories to bravely say no to baked food!
