De Cecco whole wheat penne rigate pasta No. 41 500g
1 590 Ft
Penne Rigate is part of the short, diagonally cut, ribbed pasta family and is one of the most well-known types of pasta, as well as the most versatile in the kitchen. In Italian, "Penne" refers to the quill historically used for writing, cut diagonally to give a really thin tip. The shape obtained from the dough tube can be smooth or ribbed, of variable length, and with a diagonal cut typical of quills.
Penne is one of the few types of pasta that has an exact date of preparation. Indeed, in 1865 a pasta maker from San Martino d'Albaro (Genoa), Giovanni Battista Capurro, applied for and received a patent for a diagonal cutting machine. The patent was important because it meant that fresh pasta could be cut with a pen without breaking it, and in different lengths, between 3 and 5 centimeters. The document kept in the Central Archives of the Roman State states: "Until now, diagonal cutting could only be done by hand with scissors, which in addition to being slow and time-consuming, also resulted in irregular cutting. cut, which flattened the pasta". Penne Rigate is excellent for oven-baked pasta or pasta dishes served with pork or beef meat sauces. This pasta is equally good for plant-based sauces, but because of its versatility, it is usually used in any recipe from the Mediterranean tradition, such as for the classic seasoning with tomatoes, basil, extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of parmesan.Classic combination with Arrabbiata sauce.
