Does pasta have fats and protein?

Answer 1

Pasta can be made differently, if you are buying store bought pasta, it usually is very processed which takes away the nutritional value, and their are many different homemade pasta recipes. I know of one, that contains 5 eggs and a cup of flour, AKA lot's of protein. Others may have no eggs and water.

If you want pasta with protein, homemade pasta is delicious and surprisingly easy to make. A pasta machine can be bought, that simply flattens out the pasta dough, and cuts it into strips, that's what my family uses. The recipe we use has again, a lot of eggs and not a lot of carbs, so I recommend that one, and in my opinion, it tastes better than store bought pasta.

Yes, but it is an incomplete protein. That is, proteins that are missing, or do not have enough of, one or more of the essential amino acids.
