About Penne pasta with cheese sauce
Penne pasta with cheese sauce is a creamy, indulgent dish rooted in Italian cuisine. It features smooth, tube-shaped penne pasta, traditionally made from durum wheat, paired with a rich and velvety cheese sauce. Common ingredients in the sauce include milk, butter, flour, and a blend of cheeses such as Parmesan or cheddar for depth and flavor. This comfort food delivers energy primarily from carbohydrates in the pasta and fats from the cheese and butter. While it provides calcium and protein from the dairy components, it's also high in saturated fat and calories, making moderation key to incorporating it into a balanced diet. Variations may include vegetables or lean proteins that can enhance its nutritional profile. Penne pasta with cheese sauce is a satisfying option to enjoy occasionally, as part of a varied eating plan.
