This dish uses whole-wheat penne pasta, which, unlike traditional wheat pasta, is rich in fiber and has a slightly nutty flavor. Boil it and toss it with a tomato sauce topped with fried sopressata salami, preserved artichoke hearts, olives, and basil. You can use sausage instead of sopressata. Stir in sliced ​​mozzarella cheese while the pasta is hot, melting it. Serve as a light dinner bursting with vibrant, rich flavors.
