Penne is one of the most well-known and popular shapes of Italian pasta. Translated from Italian, “penne” means “quills” or “feathers”. This pasta is hollow, with diagonally cut edges, truly resembling the tips of antique ink pens. The large diameter and ridges of Penne allow them to fully absorb sauce! Try Penne with meat and vegetable sauces containing chunks of meat and vegetables. This pasta shines with both tomato sauce and in combination with exquisite creamy sauces. Penne is also excellent for baking
