Penne Rigate from Afeltra are made with 100% Italian durum wheat semolina that is mixed with water from Gragnano. Afeltra uses only traditional bronze extruding machines which give the artisanal pasta a rough texture with many pores. These pores will absorb the pasta sauce much better when finishing the dish! Afeltra Penne Rigate are also slowly dried at a low temperature for up to 48 hours which helps the protein structure in the pasta stay strong allowing for a better al dente texture! \nPenne Rigate are one of Italys most popular cuts. Penne Rigate has a wider tube than the original penne but Rigate with ridges on the outside. \nIt pairs perfectly with vegetable sauces, or tomato-based sause like the Puttanesca Sauce, or Pesto. The shape is also good for making pasta salad.
