Pasta, particularly spaghetti, has become a common meal in Guatemalan households as an affordable carbohydrate alternative. It is typically served with a simple tomato-based sauce or in soups. The most popular brands are INA and Roma, both produced domestically. Pasta prices remain relatively stable year-round since most is manufactured locally from imported wheat.
