Mantova Penne Rigate, Organic, Whole Wheat, No. 40

Mantova Penne Rigate Organic Whole Wheat pasta brings authentic Italian craftsmanship to your kitchen with the added nutritional benefits of whole grain goodness. This traditional tube-shaped pasta features the classic ridged exterior that makes penne rigate so beloved by home cooks and professional chefs alike. Crafted from organic whole wheat, this penne offers a heartier texture and nuttier flavor compared to refined pasta, while the distinctive ridges perfectly capture and hold onto sauces, oils, and seasonings. The tubular shape and angled cuts create ideal pockets for ingredients to nestle into, making every bite flavorful and satisfying. Whole wheat pasta provides more fiber and nutrients than traditional white pasta, making it an excellent choice for health-conscious families without sacrificing authentic Italian taste and texture. This versatile pasta works beautifully in countless Italian dishes, from classic penne arrabbiata with spicy tomato sauce to creamy penne alla vodka. The robust texture holds up well in baked pasta dishes like pasta al forno, and it pairs wonderfully with chunky vegetable sauces, pesto, or simple olive oil and garlic preparations. For best results, cook in well-salted boiling water until al dente, typically 10-12 minutes for whole wheat varieties. Try it in pasta salads, one-pot meals, or tossed with seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs for a wholesome Mediterranean-inspired dinner that celebrates the time-honored tradition of Italian pasta making.
