About Penne
Penne is a popular type of pasta originating from Italy, traditionally made from durum wheat semolina and water. Its distinctive cylinder-shaped design with diagonal cuts at both ends allows sauces to cling perfectly to its surface, making it a versatile choice for various dishes, including pasta bakes and creamy or tomato-based recipes. Penne provides a good source of carbohydrates, which help fuel energy for the body, and contains some protein from the wheat. Whole-grain penne is a healthier version, offering additional fiber that supports digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Traditional penne is low in fat but can be calorie-dense depending on preparation and toppings, such as creamy sauces or high-fat cheese. An integral part of Italian cuisine, penne fits well into a balanced diet when paired with vegetables, lean proteins, or olive oil-based sauces.
