Penne is the plural form of the Italian “penna,” meaning feather or quill. In Italy, penne are produced in two variants: "penne lisce" (smooth) and "penne rigate" (furrowed), the latter having ridges on each noodle. Garofalo Signature’s penne rigate has ridges on the outside of each noodle, allowing this cut to hold a hearty serving of pasta sauce with each bite! Sauce Pairing Suggestion: Traditional tomato & basil 1 lb. Made by Garofalo, imported from Italy.
