An all Italian passion for pasta invented from a traditional shape such as Penne, in their infinite variations. All different according to geographical areas, lifestyles, tastes and culinary customs. Pennette Rigate are a reduced version of Penne, and, just like Penne, they originated in northern Italy. Characterized by their small shape, cut sideways on the tips, like the old pen nibs for feather pens, they have in their grooves an ideal element to enhance any type of sauce. Barilla, Italy's n.1 pasta, took their original shape and with its deep experience in selected wheats, completely brought out the best in the pasta's quality and its al dente cooking. Today Pennette Rigate are one of the favourite shapes among all Italian gourmets.
