A smaller version of the traditional ridged penne rigate ("quills"). These delicate pointy tubes pile up beautifully on a plate, making them a chefs' favorite.Use pennine rigate in everything from pasta salads and soups to rich, creamy dishes like Pasta alla Gricia (pasta with guanciale, Pecorino Romano and lots of black pepper.
The ridged texture of these mini penne are perfect for holding sauce. We particularly love these little cuties in baked pasta dishes. Try using pennine rigate in your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe or use in lieu of rigatoni or ziti in tomato-rich, cheesy baked ziti.
