From the Latin for "feathers" (reminiscent of old-fashioned quill pens), Penne Rigate is diagonally cut tubular shapes with ridged surfaces. Versatile in size and shape, Penne Rigate takes only 6 minutes to cook! Use it in entrées, side dishes, soup, oven bakes or cold salads. Most pasta sauces are great with Penne Rigate, but thinner sauces will cling to ridges in penne.
