Pasta, white, spaghetti, dried, boiled in unsalted water

White spaghetti is a pasta made from refined wheat flour. The figures here describe dried spaghetti that has been boiled in unsalted water, rather than the uncooked product. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 32g per 100g of cooked pasta, alongside 4.4g of protein, 1.7g of fibre and 0.6g of fat.

Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of tissues. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. Pasta cooked without added salt contains very little salt, but adding salt during cooking, or serving it with sauces or cheese, can increase the salt content of the meal.
