Pasta, white, dried, raw

White dried pasta is a cereal product made from refined wheat flour. The figures here describe it in its raw, uncooked form and cover shapes including penne, fusilli and spaghetti. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 76g per 100g, alongside 11g of protein and 1.6g of fat. Its energy content is 1461 kJ per 100g.

Carbohydrate supplies energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. Dried pasta absorbs water during cooking, so these raw values do not represent the same weight of cooked pasta. Salt, sauces and other ingredients added during preparation can change the meal’s salt, fat and energy content. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
