Rigate means “ridges” which helps hold more sauce on the pasta than the smooth penne type.Penne makes excellent and versatile pasta for many applications because of the very practical design. The angle cut of the end makes a large surface area for sauce to fall into and be drawn up the tube which means they are great for pairing with thick tomato sauces, meat sauces, chunky vegetable sauces, and thick cream sauces.Organic, Suitable for vegetarians, KosherE-shop: www.pastagarofalo.it
