About Penne pasta with meat sauce and cheese
Penne Pasta with Meat Sauce and Cheese is a classic Italian-inspired dish that combines tender penne pasta with a hearty tomato-based meat sauce and a layer of melted cheese for added richness. The meat sauce typically includes ground beef or pork, fresh garlic, onions, and herbs like basil and oregano, delivering robust flavor and protein. The pasta provides carbohydrates for energy, while cheese like mozzarella or Parmesan adds calcium and a creamy finish. This dish is satisfying and comforting but can be high in calories and fat due to the cheese and meat content. Whole-grain pasta and lean ground meat can be used to boost fiber and reduce saturated fat for a healthier variation. Packed with savory flavors, it’s a versatile meal that can be enjoyed as a family dinner or portioned for meal prep.
