About Penne pasta with tomato sauce and chicken
Penne Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Chicken is a flavorful and balanced dish inspired by Italian cuisine. It features tender penne pasta cooked al dente, simmered in a rich tomato sauce made with ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, and a blend of herbs like basil and oregano. Grilled or sautéed chicken breast adds lean protein, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. This dish is a great source of carbohydrates for energy, protein for muscle maintenance, and vitamins such as lycopene from the tomatoes, which may support heart health. Opting for whole-grain pasta can increase fiber content for better digestion. While nutritious overall, moderation is key with portion sizes, as the dish can be calorie-dense depending on the amount of pasta and oil used. It’s a wholesome meal perfect for a balanced diet when prepared with fresh, quality ingredients.
