About Penne with sauce
Penne with sauce is a classic Italian-inspired dish featuring penne pasta paired with a flavorful tomato-based sauce. The pasta, made from durum wheat, serves as a satisfying source of carbohydrates that provide energy. The sauce often incorporates tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and herbs like basil and oregano, delivering a dose of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants like lycopene. Variations may include lean proteins such as grilled chicken or vegetables for added nutritional balance. While the dish can be wholesome, its health profile depends on portion size and any added ingredients like cream, cheese, or high-fat meats, which increase calorie and saturated fat content. Opt for whole-grain penne and lighter, vegetable-rich sauces to maximize fiber and nutrients. Penne with sauce offers a versatile foundation for a range of healthy meal options while celebrating the rich culinary heritage of Italian cuisine.
