Rigatoni pasta with tomato sauce and cheese is a comforting Italian classic, featuring large, tube-shaped pasta smothered in a rich tomato-based sauce and topped with melted cheese. The rigatoni holds the sauce beautifully, ensuring each bite is full of flavor. Typically made with simple ingredients like durum wheat pasta, ripe tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and mozzarella or Parmesan cheese, this dish is both hearty and satisfying. It provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy and contains lycopene from the tomatoes, an antioxidant linked to various health benefits. However, its calorie and fat content can vary depending on the amount of cheese and oil used. This dish can be made healthier by opting for whole-grain pasta, using less cheese, or incorporating vegetables for added nutrients. Enjoyed worldwide, it's beloved for its balance of wholesome ingredients and indulgent flavors.
