About Penne pasta with meat sauce
Penne Pasta with Meat Sauce is a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in Italian cuisine. It features al dente penne, a tube-shaped pasta, coated in a savory tomato-based meat sauce made with ground beef or pork, onion, garlic, and Italian herbs such as basil and oregano. Often topped with grated Parmesan cheese, the dish is a comfort food favorite for many. Nutritionally, penne pasta provides a steady source of energy from its carbohydrates, while the meat sauce offers protein essential for muscle repair and maintenance. Tomato sauce contributes vitamins like C and K, along with antioxidants such as lycopene. However, the dish can be high in sodium and saturated fats depending on preparation methods, such as using fatty meats or excessive cheese. Opting for whole-grain penne and lean protein can make this meal a more balanced choice for health-conscious individuals.
