About Baked pasta with cheese

Baked Pasta with Cheese is a comforting, flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine. Typically made with tubular or layered pasta varieties such as penne, ziti, or lasagna noodles, the dish features a rich combination of marinara or Alfredo sauce, gooey melted cheese—cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan—and optional ingredients like ground meat, vegetables, or herbs. The pasta is baked to perfection, forming a golden, bubbly crust that adds texture and enhances the flavor. While this dish is a source of carbohydrates and protein, thanks to the pasta and cheese, its calorie and fat content can be high, depending on the amount of cheese and type of sauce used. Adding vegetables or using whole-grain pasta can boost its fiber and nutrient profile, making it a healthier choice. Though indulgent, baked pasta with cheese can be balanced with lighter sides such as salads or steamed greens for a wholesome meal.
