About Penne in red sauce
Penne in Red Sauce is a classic Italian-inspired dish featuring tubular penne pasta coated in a flavorful tomato-based sauce. The red sauce is typically made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, onion, olive oil, and Italian seasonings such as basil and oregano. Optional additions include vegetables like spinach or zucchini, protein sources such as grilled chicken or shrimp, and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. The dish is rich in lycopene, a beneficial antioxidant found in tomatoes, and can be a good source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. While olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, the calorie count can rise depending on portion size and the inclusion of high-fat ingredients like cream or excess cheese. Penne in Red Sauce can be customized for healthier options, such as whole-grain pasta and reduced-oil cooking methods, making it adaptable to a balanced diet.
