About Penne pasta

Penne pasta is a popular type of Italian noodle characterized by its cylindrical, tube-like shape with diagonal cuts at each end. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, it offers a versatile base for a variety of sauces, often used in dishes like pasta arrabbiata or creamy casseroles. Native to Italy, penne is celebrated worldwide for its ability to hold sauce within its ridges, maximizing flavor with every bite. Nutritionally, penne pasta is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy for the body. Whole wheat varieties offer additional benefits, including higher fiber content for improved digestion. However, traditional penne pasta may be less suitable for low-carb diets and can be calorie-dense if paired with rich, high-fat sauces. For a balanced meal, combine it with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and heart-healthy oils like olive oil.
