What it is
Tomato pasta is a pasta product where tomatoes or tomato-based ingredients are incorporated into the dough. This can be achieved by adding tomato paste, powder, or juice during the mixing process, giving the pasta a distinct flavor and color.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use tomato pasta for its flavor and color, enhancing the visual appeal and taste of dishes. It is commonly found in pasta sauces, chili, stews, and dips, where it complements other savory ingredients.
Health notes
Tomato pasta is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. Tomatoes are a source of vitamins and antioxidants like lycopene. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated tomato products, but specific evaluations for tomato pasta as a distinct ingredient are not widely published. Evidence suggests that antioxidants in tomatoes may offer health benefits, but this is an area of ongoing research.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. Gluten is present if made with wheat flour.
