While some psoriasis diet plans like Dr. Pagano's suggest avoiding nightshade vegetables (including tomatoes), there's no definitive scientific evidence that tomatoes must be completely eliminated for everyone with psoriasis. Each person's triggers can be different.

If you love spaghetti, consider trying these approaches:
- Start with small portions to test your body's reaction
- Try tomato-free alternatives like pesto, olive oil-based, or butternut squash sauces
- Keep a food diary to track if tomato-based foods actually trigger your symptoms Remember that overly restrictive diets aren't always the answer and can sometimes lead to unnecessary food fears or nutritional deficiencies. If you're concerned about your diet, consider working with a registered dietitian who can help create an individualized eating plan that includes foods you enjoy while managing your psoriasis symptoms.
