Penne Rigate Pasta #42 (500g)

Penne Rigate Pasta #42 Giuseppe Cocco (500g) from Italy.

Penne rigate is a type of pasta that is shaped like tubes with ridges along the outside. The name "penne" comes from the Italian word for "pen" or "quill", referring to the shape of the pasta, which is typically cut at an angle, and "rigate" which means "ridged" in Italian, referring to the ridges that run along the surface of the pasta. This pasta shape is typically paired with hearty, chunky sauces, and it can also be baked in a casserole or used in pasta salads.
