About Protein penne with creamy sauce
Protein Penne with Creamy Sauce is a wholesome twist on a classic Italian-inspired dish. This meal features penne pasta paired with a rich, velvety sauce made from low-fat cream or an alternative like Greek yogurt, ensuring indulgence with reduced guilt. A generous portion of lean protein, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or plant-based options like tofu or lentils, is added for satiety and muscle health. Freshly sautéed garlic, onions, and a medley of spinach or broccoli contribute fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. While the creamy sauce adds a decadent texture, careful portion control ensures balanced fat intake. Garnished with herbs like basil or parsley, this dish embodies Mediterranean comfort food with a modern, nutritious twist. However, for those aiming to reduce carbs, opting for whole-wheat penne or legume-based pasta can increase fiber and improve overall health benefits.
