    Spaghetti is a type of pasta made from flour and water and formed into solid strings. Flour is a source of carbohydrates, the preferred fuel supply your metabolism uses for energy.It is also a dietary source of vitamins, minerals and fiber -- especially if you purchase whole grain or whole-wheat pasta.  Whole grains also contain higher levels of nutrients selenium, potassium and magnesium. Selenium helps regulate thyroid hormones and functions as an antioxidant. Potassium plays a role in fluid balance and helps maintain pH. Magnesium supports metabolism, healthy muscles, nerves, bones and the heart.Fiber plays several important roles in health including blood sugar regulation, digestion and immunity. Fiber slows the uptake of sugars, helping you keep balanced blood-sugar levels. Dietary fiber also absorbs water and adds bulk to your stools, promoting regularity. High fiber intake supports beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract that help your immune system fight infections. Fiber also makes you feel full from meals, allowing you to eat less and maintain a healthy weight.

In Spaghetti sauce it adds nutrients to your diet and may help prevent cancer. A serving of spaghetti sauce provides vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron while serving as a source of the antioxidant lycopene.
