Not sure what you mean. NO food is unhealthy. What is unhealthy is over indulgence in any particular type of food. Over eat and you gain weight with any resultant health problems.

This depend on the theme of the meal and or the wine if any is served, it would also depend on the occasion, dinner party, casual, or family. Pasta dishes is just that "Pasta", it shouldn't be smothered in sauce regardless of the type of sauce. For Casual and family I would serve what is most liked such as: Cream Sauces, Fish Sauces, Meat Sauces, Gnocchi Sauces etc. For Theme and Dinner parties I suggest light Sauces sparingly seasoned or without onions and garlic. String varieties (spaghetti type) and/or medium to small pasta variations for light sauces.

That would depend on the type of pasta you use, but more specifically also on the type of sauce you eat with the pasta.

And then in terms of the sauce you eat with pasta, vegetable-based sauces and low-fat sauces is going to be healthier than meat-based or sauces with lots of cream and added fat.
