In order to survive, we need to provide the energy our body requires. Foods that we consume for nutrition, are divided into various categories based on their nutritional elements. In fact, what we call the balanced nutrition is all about managing the balance between the foods in different categories. Ideally, in order to achieve this, we must provide 50% of our daily energy from carbohydrates, 20% from proteins and 30% from fats.
For our daily fat intake, 10% of of it must be provided from polyunsaturated fatty acids, 15% from monounsaturated fatty acids and 5% from saturated fatty acids. Fats provided from animal products, as we know, must be consumed carefully because of their cholesterole contents. Even though butter contains saturated fats, it can be included in a healthy diet because of its Vitamin E, A and D contents. Today, we will present you a delicious recipe with which we combine the taste of pasta with the classical aroma of butter: Pasta with Tonya Butter and Kuymak.
