Luigi Vitelli Penne Rigati W/W Organic Pasta

Experience authentic Italian pasta made with organic whole wheat with Luigi Vitelli Penne Rigati, a traditional tube-shaped pasta that brings the rustic flavors of Italy straight to your kitchen. This organic whole wheat penne rigati features the classic ridged exterior that makes it perfect for holding onto sauces, oils, and seasonings. The "rigati" designation refers to the distinctive ridges running along each tube, while the hollow center and angled cuts create the perfect vessel for capturing every drop of your favorite sauce. Made from organic whole wheat, this pasta offers a heartier texture and nuttier flavor compared to traditional white pasta, while providing additional fiber and nutrients. The firm bite and substantial feel make it ideal for robust Italian dishes that demand a pasta with character. Penne rigati excels in a variety of Italian preparations, from simple aglio e olio with garlic and olive oil to hearty arrabbiata with spicy tomatoes and peppers. Its sturdy structure holds up beautifully in baked pasta dishes like penne al forno, pasta salads, and casseroles. For best results, cook in generously salted boiling water until al dente, typically 10-12 minutes for whole wheat varieties. This versatile pasta pairs wonderfully with chunky vegetable sauces, creamy cheese-based preparations, or meat ragù. The organic whole wheat composition makes it an excellent choice for health-conscious home cooks who want to enjoy traditional Italian pasta while incorporating more whole grains into their diet.
