For this week’s #TidyTuesday, pasta carbs and fat

Code on GitHub

This scatter plot shows how 54 pasta dishes from around the world compare in their carbohydrate and fat content per serving. Each point represents a pasta dish, colored by the country or cuisine it comes from, positioned on a grid where the x-axis shows normalized carbohydrate content (0 to 1) and the y-axis shows normalized fat content (0 to 1). The data is normalized against 2 200 recipes of different dish types in the dataset. The plot is divided into four quadrants by dashed lines at the 0.5 mark on both axes, with directional labels indicating “High carb” (right), “Low carb” (left), “High fat” (top), and “Low fat” (bottom). Most pasta dishes cluster in the lower-right quadrant, indicating they tend to be higher in carbs but lower in fat. Notable outliers are labeled with dish names and their countries of origin, including dishes like “Copycat Chicken Fritta” from Italy (highest carb content), “Creamy Chicken Pasta” from Cajun and Creole cuisine (highest fat content), and “Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup” from Greece (lowest fat content).
