How to Use
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil, add the penne, and cook 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente with a firm bite at the center. Drain and toss immediately with your sauce, reserving a cup of pasta water to loosen it as needed. Penne rigate pairs well with chunky Bolognese, arrabbiata, vodka sauce, or a simple tomato and basil sauce, and it also holds up well in baked pasta dishes. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pasta Toscana Organic Penne Rigate contain allergens?
Yes. Pasta Toscana Organic Penne Rigate is made from durum wheat semolina, so it contains wheat and gluten. No separate facility allergen statement is listed on this product, so anyone with a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or other gluten sensitivity should read the printed ingredient panel on the bag before cooking, since packaging can change between production runs.
How should I store and cook Pasta Toscana Organic Penne Rigate?
Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight; dry pasta keeps well for up to two years at room temperature. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil, cook until al dente, then drain and toss with sauce right away. Once opened, reseal the bag or transfer to an airtight container.
What is the difference between Pasta Toscana Organic Penne Rigate and the regular Penne Rigate?
The organic penne is USDA Certified Organic, made from wheat grown without synthetic pesticides, while the regular Pasta Toscana Penne Rigate uses conventional Tuscan Durum Wheat Semolina. Both share the same ridged tube shape and 1 lb bag size; the difference is the organic certification and farming method behind the wheat, not the cooking time or texture.
Is Pasta Toscana Organic Penne Rigate imported from Italy?
Yes. This pasta is grown, milled, and shaped in Tuscany, Italy, then imported for sale in the United States and Canada. Real Prime Deals ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so customers receive the same organic Italian pasta available in Tuscany.
