About Cheese Pasta Recipe
Pasta is a type of food that is typically made from an unleavened dough of wheat flour mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or other shapes before being boiled or baked. Pasta is made from grain, which is one of the basic food groups in a healthy diet, along with vegetables, fruits, fish, and poultry. Its a good source of
energy and, if made from whole grains, it can also provide fibre. This can help with stomach issues as well as lower cholesterol.
Ingredients for Cheese Pasta Recipe
Penne Pasta :
Penne is an extruded pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces with an angle cut at the ends. It is the plural form of the Italian penna, which is derived from the Latin word penna, and is a cognate of the English word pen. This format was designed to mimic the steel nibs of fountain pens, which were popular at the time.
Tomatoes:
Tomato flavour is frequently described as sweet, tart, tangy, or well- balanced. This is also known as classic tomato flavour or old-fashioned tomato flavour in some cases. Some tomatoes are described as having a mild or bland flavour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is pasta just Italian?
While we think of pasta as a culturally Italian food, it is most likely descended from ancient Asian noodles. Pasta is widely believed to have been brought to Italy from China by Marco Polo in the 13th century.
Is mozzarella good for pasta?
Mozzarella is as Italian as it gets, so it's no surprise that it's a mainstay in many traditional cheese pasta dishes!
