The Shape

One of the most famous Italian pasta shapes, and British favourites, penne translates to the word “pen” and gets its name from its shape – a short cylinder-shaped pasta with angled edges. Penne complements every sauce and works exceptionally well when paired with a chunkier sauce.

More Info

The ends of the tubes are diagonally cut, creating a slanted opening. This design allows penne to hold sauces and ingredients effectively, making each bite flavourful and satisfying. This whole wheat version is ideal for health-conscious pasta lovers, it brings a hearty, nutty flavour to dishes alongside extra nutritional benefits.

Texture & Cooking

Wholewheat penne has a firm, chewy texture when cooked. It is typically boiled in salted water until it is al dente, which means it still retains a slight firmness. It has a slightly longer cook time than white pasta.

Sauce Pairings

Wholewheat penne pairs well with a wide range of sauces, including:

Tomato-based sauces: The cylindrical shape and ridges of penne make it ideal for capturing chunky tomato sauces with vegetables, meats, or seafood.
Creamy sauces: Penne works well with creamy sauces like Alfredo, carbonara, or cheese-based sauces, creating a rich and satisfying pasta dish.
Pesto: The cylindrical tubes of penne hold pesto sauce effectively, ensuring a burst of herbal and nutty flavours in each bite.
