Plain fresh pasta is a cereal product made from flour and water, sometimes with egg. The figures here describe it after boiling, without added sauce. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with some protein and a small amount of fat. Per 100g, it contains 32g of carbohydrate, 6.6g of protein, 1.5g of fat and 677 kJ of energy.
Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Plain boiled pasta contains little salt or saturated fat, but sauces, cheese and other additions can increase these amounts and the overall energy content of a meal. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
