How to Use
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add Pasta Toscana Penne Rigate and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Taste at 10 minutes — tubes should be firm with a clean bite and no chalky center. Drain and toss immediately with your sauce, reserving a cup of pasta water to loosen as needed. Penne rigate grips sauce from the ridged exterior and holds sauce inside the hollow tube for maximum flavor per bite. Pairs with spicy arrabbiata, vodka sauce, Bolognese, creamy quattro formaggi, or simple tomato and basil. Excellent for baked pasta al forno — the ridged shape holds up beautifully through oven cooking.
