Penne are one of the most famous shapes in Italian tradition, owing to the imagination of the people of Naples and their passion for good cuisine. Their pointed shape, reminiscent of the old pen-nibs used with feather pens (hence the name Penne, meaning feather or pen), and the smooth surface bring out the best in any kind of sauce, particularly fresh and light ones. Barilla, Italy's n.1 pasta, took their shape and enhanced it with their long experience in quality and bringing out the flavour of pasta cooked "al dente". This is how Penne Lisce became one of the shapes gourmets appreciate the most.
