Weigh spaghetti dry and mozzarella after draining. Passata is used as sold. Water and optional salt have no energy contribution. No oil, pesto or parmesan is included in this calculation.
Method
- Weigh 75 g of dry spaghetti. Cook in boiling water according to the package instructions. Reserve a little pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, gently heat 150 g of passata in a small pan for about 5 minutes. Stir and add a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
- Drain the mozzarella and weigh 60 g. Tear it into small pieces. Toss the cooked spaghetti with the warm passata, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed.
- Take the pan off the heat and fold in the mozzarella. Serve the whole prepared amount as one portion. Count any oil, pesto or extra cheese separately.
How we calculated it
Ingredient energy = weight in grams × kcal per 100 g ÷ 100. The sum covers the whole recipe, which makes one serving. Card energy is rounded to 10 kcal and protein to a whole gram.
