Penne rigate's versatile tubular shape and ridged exterior make it ideal for a wide variety of Italian dishes and modern fusion cuisine.

This pasta shape is particularly popular in baked dishes like penne alla vodka, pasta salads, and hearty casseroles where the tubes hold their shape well during cooking. For best results, cook penne rigate in generously salted boiling water according to package directions, typically 10-12 minutes for al dente texture.
Whether you're preparing a quick weeknight dinner or an elaborate Italian feast, Barilla Penne Rigate pairs exceptionally well with Mediterranean ingredients like fresh basil, garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. Try it with roasted vegetables, Italian sausage, or seafood for a complete meal that brings the authentic flavors of Italy to your dining table.
