Tube-shaped pasta that holds sauce inside. The diagonal cut at the ends makes it easier for the sauce to get in.
The pasta is made from durum wheat grown by a producer in the Thessaly region of Greece. Durum wheat is traditionally used for high-quality pasta because it has a higher protein content than common wheat, helping the pasta hold its shape during cooking.
Good pasta doesn’t have an overpowering flavour. Penne has a clean, grain-like taste, with subtle nutty notes and a pleasant aroma of cooked wheat. It provides a good base for the sauce without overpowering it.
