About Penne pasta with tomato sauce

Penne pasta with tomato sauce is a beloved Italian dish featuring short, tube-shaped pasta coated in a rich tomato-based sauce. Its simplicity and versatility make it a staple in many households worldwide. The dish typically includes penne pasta made from durum wheat, a tangy tomato sauce enhanced with olive oil, garlic, onions, and a medley of herbs like basil and oregano. Sometimes, vegetables or protein, such as chicken or ground beef, are added for variety. This dish offers a good source of energy from the pasta's carbohydrates and is naturally low in fat when prepared without heavy cream or cheese. The tomato sauce provides antioxidants like lycopene, which support heart health. However, watch for portion sizes and added salt or sugar in the sauce, which can impact its nutritional value. Opt for whole-grain pasta for extra fiber to make this dish even healthier.
