What Goes Into It
Per serving (1 plate)
gastroenterology Gut Health Insight
This dish is heavy on fat because of butter, cream, cheese, and added fat — so it can feel slow on digestion, especially if you eat it in a large portion. The tomato sauce does bring some vitamin C and a bit of folate, and onion, garlic, and coriander add flavour along with mild gut-friendly plant compounds, but the fibre is very low at just 1.9g per plate. If you’re having it, pair it with a side salad or steamed veggies to balance the meal and keep digestion a little lighter.
