Penne Pasta is a beloved Italian staple, characterized by its unique tube shape and diagonal cut ends. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina, it boasts a firm texture that holds sauces beautifully, making it perfect for baked dishes or creamy Alfredo. This versatile pasta is often found in Mediterranean cuisine, where it's paired with vibrant vegetables, lean proteins, and fresh herbs. While it’s a satisfying source of carbohydrates, its moderate glycemic index makes it a sensible choice when enjoyed in balance. With a sprinkle of Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil, Penne Pasta transforms any meal into a delightful culinary experience.
