Penne Pasta with Red Tomato Sauce is a classic Italian dish celebrated worldwide for its simplicity and rich flavor. This recipe features penne pasta, a hollow, tube-shaped variety known for holding sauces perfectly, combined with a vibrant tomato-based sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, onions, and aromatic herbs like basil and oregano. Often garnished with Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley, this dish embodies the essence of Mediterranean cuisine. Nutritionally, it offers a good source of carbohydrates for energy. The tomato sauce provides vitamins A and C and antioxidants such as lycopene, promoting heart health and boosting immunity. However, servings should be moderated as the dish can be calorie-dense, particularly if enriched with heavy cheeses or high portions of oil. Pairing it with a fresh vegetable salad or lean protein makes it a balanced choice for many diets.
