About Penne pasta with marinara sauce

Penne Pasta with Marinara Sauce is a classic Italian dish renowned for its simplicity and flavor. It features tubular, ridged penne pasta paired with a rich marinara sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil. This dish embodies the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, celebrated for fresh ingredients and hearty flavors. Penne is typically made from durum wheat, providing a good source of carbohydrates for energy. Marinara sauce is naturally low in fat and packed with antioxidants like lycopene from tomatoes, contributing to heart health. However, moderation is key, as portion sizes and added extras like cheese or bread can raise the calorie count. Choose whole-grain penne for added fiber and nutrients to boost its health benefits. This versatile dish is perfect for vegetarians and can be customized with additional vegetables or lean protein for a balanced meal.
