Penne Rigati

Penne rigate is a type of penne pasta that features ridges on its surface. These ridges serve a functional purpose, as they help sauces cling to the pasta more effectively. Penne rigate is a versatile pasta shape that can be used in a variety of dishes, particularly those with robust sauces or that require the pasta to hold onto ingredients. Its ridged surface enhances the eating experience by ensuring that each bite is full of flavour and texture.

Founded in 1924 in the Italian region of Abruzzo, Rustichella d'Abruzzo is renowned for producing high-quality artisanal pasta. They use a blend of the highest-grade hard durum wheat sourced from Italy, Canada and Australia to achieve the ideal balance of proteins, flavour and texture.

The pasta is made using traditional bronze dyes, which give the pasta a rough texture that helps sauces cling to it better. It is then dried at low temperatures for 36 to 50 hours in static drying rooms with regulated humidity to allow the proper fermentation of the semolina and the flavour to fully develop.

Rustichella d'Abruzzo pasta is celebrated for its exceptional quality, traditional craftsmanship, and rich flavour, making it a favourite among chefs and home cooks alike.
