Penne
Penne is a classic tube-shaped Italian pasta made from durum wheat semolina, widely used in Mediterranean and global cuisines for baked dishes and sauced preparations. It provides 75g of carbohydrates per 100g, making it an energy-dense staple that pairs well with vegetables, proteins and sauces. Nutrition-wise, penne offers modest protein for a cereal product but is relatively low in fiber and micronutrients compared with whole-grain or legume-based pastas. While it serves as a convenient, versatile base for meals, choosing whole-grain or pulse-based varieties can boost fiber, vitamins and minerals when you want a more nutrient-dense option.
