About Penne ao sugo

Penne Ao Sugo is a classic Italian pasta dish featuring penne pasta coated in a vibrant tomato sauce known as sugo. The sauce is typically made with ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and fresh basil, offering a balance of robust flavors. As a traditional staple in Italian cuisine, this dish highlights simple, wholesome ingredients. Penne Ao Sugo is a source of complex carbohydrates from the pasta, providing sustained energy, while the tomato-based sauce is rich in antioxidants like lycopene. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, and herbs like basil enhance its nutritional profile. While this dish is relatively low in saturated fats and free of excessive additives, its healthiness depends on portion size and preparation method. Opting for whole-grain penne or reducing added oil and cheese can make it a more nutrient-dense option. Perfectly suited for a light yet satisfying meal, Penne Ao Sugo embodies the essence of Mediterranean cooking.
