Pasta, egg, white, dried, raw

White egg pasta is made from refined wheat flour and eggs. The figures here describe dried pasta in its raw, uncooked form, including shapes such as spaghetti, penne and tagliatelle. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 75g per 100g, alongside 13g of protein, 3.9g of fibre and 3.6g of fat.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps support normal bowel function. Pasta absorbs water during cooking, so the nutrient amounts per 100g of cooked pasta will differ from these dried values. Added salt, sauces and other ingredients also affect the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
