About Penne pasta with sauce

Penne pasta with sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, featuring cylindrical, ridged pasta paired with a flavorful sauce. Common variations include marinara, alfredo, or pesto, often complemented by ingredients like olive oil, garlic, herbs, vegetables, or proteins such as chicken or seafood. Penne itself is made from durum wheat, providing a source of carbohydrates for energy. Whole-grain penne offers additional fiber, supporting digestion and heart health. Tomato-based sauces are rich in vitamins A and C, along with antioxidants like lycopene. However, cream-based sauces can be high in saturated fats and calories, so moderation is key. Toppings like cheese add calcium but can increase fat and sodium content. As a versatile dish, it can be modified to accommodate dietary preferences and nutritional goals, making it a popular and customizable choice for meals.
