About This Product

Authentic Italian wheat germ penne from Tuscany, bronze-die extruded for a rougher texture that holds sauce well.

How to Cook It

1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a rolling boil.
2. Cook 11–13 minutes for al dente, stirring occasionally (check the package for the exact time).
3. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining, then toss the pasta with your sauce, adding a splash of pasta water to help it cling.

Chef's Tip

Penne's angled tube shape is a natural fit for baked pasta dishes — it holds its shape well even after a second round in the oven.
