About Penne pasta with tomato sauce and grated cheese
Penne Pasta with Tomato Sauce and Grated Cheese is a comforting dish rooted in Italian cuisine and enjoyed worldwide. It features tubular-shaped penne pasta cooked to al dente perfection, coated with a flavorful tomato-based sauce typically crafted from ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onions, and herbs like basil or oregano. A topping of grated cheese, often Parmesan or mozzarella, adds richness and a savory touch. This dish provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy and lycopene from the tomatoes, which is a potent antioxidant. The olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while herbs enhance its nutritional profile without added calories. However, moderation is key, as the grated cheese and refined pasta may be higher in calories and saturated fat. Pairing this dish with a side of vegetables or opting for whole-grain pasta can improve its overall health balance.
