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. Taking only 5-8 minutes to cook, this range of pasta is a great option for pasta and dried sauce concepts, or to simply reduce the cook time within your process.

Sauce Pairings

Penne is highly versatile and can be used in a wide range of dishes. Its short, sturdy shape makes it perfect for holding robust sauces and ingredients. Penne pairs well with various types of sauces, including:

Tomato-based sauces: The cylindrical shape and ridges of penne rigate 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.
