About Penne with tomato sauce
Penne with Tomato Sauce is a classic dish rooted in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and comforting flavors. It features penne pasta, known for its tubular shape and ridges that hold sauces perfectly, paired with a rich, flavorful tomato sauce made from ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and herbs like basil and oregano. Often garnished with Parmesan cheese, it's a beloved staple of Mediterranean diets. Tomato sauce provides a source of antioxidants, particularly lycopene, known for its heart-healthy benefits. Olive oil contributes healthy monounsaturated fats, supporting cardiovascular health. While penne is a good energy source, it typically consists of refined carbohydrates, which may spike blood sugar levels if consumed in excess. To balance the dish, opt for whole-grain penne for added fiber and nutrients. Low in saturated fats but moderate in calories, this dish can be part of a healthy diet when enjoyed in appropriate portions.
