The origins of Penne Pasta - cylinder-shaped pieces, with ends cut at an angle - can be traced to a patent in Genoa for a diagonal cutting-machine! Penne is the plural of "penna" - feather, quill or pen in Italian - a nod to the pointy edges! Crafted from 100% Durum Wheat flour, our Penne, with a rich yellow hue, is a symphony of flavour. The traditional bronze dye yields a classic Penne shape, and makes our Penne ideally suited for classic al dente cooking and extra grip - no matter which sauce you pair it with.
