Penne pasta with tomato sauce and Parmesan is a classic Italian-inspired dish featuring tube-shaped pasta tossed in a vibrant, tangy tomato sauce and topped with grated Parmesan cheese. The tomato sauce is typically made with ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and aromatic herbs like basil or oregano, providing a rich source of vitamins A and C, antioxidants, and essential nutrients. Parmesan cheese adds a savory depth and contributes calcium and protein to the meal. While the dish is a comforting and wholesome option, it can be calorie-dense depending on portion size and the amount of cheese or oil used. Whole-grain penne can be substituted for added fiber and improved digestion. This dish is versatile, easy to prepare, and can be enhanced with vegetables or lean protein for added nutritional benefits, making it a popular choice for both casual meals and hearty family dinners.
