This recipe is one of the quickest to make that exist, since it consists of a pasta dish with a sauce that, as you know those who know it, is very easy to make, and in turn is full of nuances thanks to the mixture of its ingredients, which provide different touches of flavor: from the salty, to the spicy, through the sweet and acid.

In this dish we find carbohydrates that provide us with energy to replace the wear that the normal functioning of our body causes and to recover from overexertion, fiber to slow down the absorption of these carbohydrates and reduce the rise in blood glucose and the insulin response, lycopene (related to the prevention of some types of cancer), heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acids , vitamins A , B2 , B9 (folic acid), C and E , and minerals such as potassium , calcium , iron , zinc , magnesium and sodium .

As you will see, this recipe dispenses with anchovies, which makes it healthier and smoother without implying that it is less delicious.

Notes

We recommend using pear tomatoes because they have a lower degree of acidity, but you can also substitute them with a 1/2 kg jar of whole tomatoes.

When buying whole wheat pasta, make sure that it is made with whole wheat flour, not with durum wheat semolina and bran, since in refinement the cereal loses its nutrients and all that remains is the fiber of the added bran.

In the event that you miss a saltier flavor like the one that the anchovies bring to the traditional recipe, you can add a tablespoon of Mugi miso sauce after adding the rest of the ingredients, stirring so that it dissolves in the sauce, but without bring it to a boil.

The smaller the type of pasta (macaroni, spirals, bows ...), the better it will mix with the sauce and the greater prominence it will have.
