Rustichella d’Abruzzo - Organic Brown Rice Penne - 250 g

Penne rigate is a type of pasta very well appreciated throughout all Italy. Their main feature is the characteristic shape, which looks like a "pennino" (fountain pen). It is famous for being so versatile thanks to its "design", which allows it to collect the condiments properly, and the deep grooves running on the outer surface, which allows the condiment to stick to the pasta.

Rustichella d'Abruzzo celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2024, and a century later they still make pasta the same way: bronze-extruded, slow-dried, from the finest Italian durum wheat and Apennine spring water. The difference is immediately obvious when you cook it. The pasta has a rough, porous surface that grips sauce, a firm al dente bite, and a wheaty flavor that industrial pasta simply cannot replicate.

Pairs with: Ragu, arrabbiata, baked pasta dishes, or a hearty meat sauce.
Perfect for: Fans of short pasta, baked pasta lovers, and a versatile shape that holds sauce beautifully. Available at The Ambrosian Pantry, 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver, where every product on the shelf has been chosen for a reason. Shop in store or at theambrosianpantry.com.
