What it is

Penne rigate is a type of pasta with a tube shape and ridges on the outside. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water, formed into tubes, and then cut diagonally at the ends. The ridges help the sauce cling to the pasta.

Why it's used

Penne rigate is a staple in many cuisines, especially Italian-American. Manufacturers use it as a base for pasta dishes, in soups, and in pasta salads. Its shape and texture make it versatile for holding various sauces.

Health notes

Penne rigate is primarily a source of carbohydrates. The FDA considers pasta made from enriched durum wheat semolina to be a safe and wholesome food. JECFA has evaluated durum wheat and found no safety concerns. Whole wheat versions offer more fiber and nutrients. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Penne rigate is made from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten. Not suitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
