About The Pasta
Penne Particulars
Penne is versatile and pairs well with various sauces, from simple tomato-based ones to creamy Alfredo or pesto sauces. Penne rigate has ridges on its surface (like ours), which help sauces to cling better. Originating in Campania, a region in Southern Italy, penne comes from the Italian word for “quills” or “feather" - a reference to the pasta's resemblance to the tip of a quill pen.
