Baked Rigatoni with Cheese and Red Sauce is a hearty Italian-inspired dish that combines tender rigatoni pasta with a rich tomato-based sauce, layered generously with melted cheese. The red sauce is often made with ripe tomatoes, garlic, onions, and Italian herbs, providing a source of vitamins A and C alongside antioxidant-rich lycopene. The pasta delivers carbohydrates for energy, while protein can be added through optional ingredients like ground meat or plant-based substitutes. Though the gooey cheese contributes calcium and protein, it can also add saturated fat, making moderation key. Typically baked to a golden perfection, this comfort-food classic is great for sharing at family meals, though portion control is important to balance its indulgent qualities with nutritional needs.
