About Penne pasta with tomato sauce and cheese
Penne pasta with tomato sauce and cheese is a classic Italian-inspired dish loved for its simplicity and flavor. This meal consists of penne pasta, a type of tube-shaped durum wheat pasta, coated in a rich tomato-based sauce typically seasoned with garlic, onions, basil, and oregano. Grated cheese, often Parmesan or mozzarella, is melted over the top for added taste and texture. This dish provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy, vitamins A and C from the tomato sauce, and calcium from the cheese. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on portion size and ingredients used. For a healthier version, whole-grain penne can increase fiber content, and reduced-fat cheese can lower saturated fat levels. While hearty and satisfying, moderation is key due to its calorie density and sodium levels in some pre-made sauces and cheeses.
