MEET THE SHAPE

Penne rigate, the everyday classic done right

Penne are short tubes cut on a diagonal, so each end looks like the tip of a quill pen, or penna. Rigate means ridged. The grooves and the hollow center catch sauce, which makes penne rigate a natural fit for creamy and tomato sauces alike.

Gragnano is a hill town near Naples, tucked between the Lattari Mountains and the sea, and it has made dried pasta for centuries. Since 2013 the name Pasta di Gragnano has been a protected geographical indication in the EU, so this pasta must be made in Gragnano, pushed through bronze dies and dried slowly.

Looking for an organic option? We also carry organic penne rigate. For a twisted take on a ridged tube, try our Gragnano elicoidali.
