About Penne amatricana
Penne Amatriciana is a classic Italian pasta dish hailing from the Lazio region, specifically the town of Amatrice. This flavorful recipe features short, tube-shaped penne pasta tossed in a bold tomato-based sauce enriched with guanciale (cured pork jowl), Pecorino Romano cheese, and a touch of chili for mild heat. The simplicity of its ingredients highlights rich, authentic flavors. Nutritionally, Penne Amatriciana provides a balanced mix of carbohydrates from the pasta and proteins from the guanciale and cheese, with tomatoes offering vitamins like C and antioxidants such as lycopene. However, it’s higher in saturated fat and sodium due to the guanciale and Pecorino Romano, making moderation key. Opting for whole-grain penne or reducing meat and cheese portions can enhance its nutrient profile while preserving its iconic taste. This hearty, comforting dish embodies the essence of Italian cuisine.
