About Penne pasta with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese

Penne pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese is a classic Italian-inspired dish that combines simple, wholesome ingredients. The dish features al dente penne pasta coated in a rich, savory tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and herbs like basil and oregano. A sprinkle of aged Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor that enhances the dish's overall taste. This meal provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, along with vitamin C, potassium, and lycopene from the tomatoes, which support immune health and heart function. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while Parmesan offers protein and calcium. However, the dish can be high in calories and sodium depending on portion sizes and added cheese. For a healthier option, try whole-grain penne and reduce the cheese. This delicious combination is both comforting and versatile, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal!
