About Penne with tuna
Penne with Tuna is a flavorful pasta dish originating from Mediterranean cuisine, often inspired by Italian cooking traditions. It features penne pasta paired with canned tuna, olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and herbs like parsley or basil, creating a simple yet satisfying meal. Tuna is a healthy source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. Olive oil provides healthy fats and antioxidants, while tomatoes add vitamins A and C along with lycopene. On the downside, canned tuna can be high in sodium, and depending on the recipe, the dish’s calorie count may rise when additional oils or cheeses are included. Penne, as a carbohydrate, offers energy but may contribute to a higher glycemic load. Overall, Penne with Tuna is a nutritious option when enjoyed in moderation, especially when made with whole-grain pasta and lower-sodium tuna varieties.
