De Cecco Pennoni Rigati n°39 Integrali Whole Grain Pasta, 500 g, Pack of 3

Pennoni Rigati are a larger version of the classic penne and can optimally absorb the spices thanks to their size. The term penne refers in the Italian language to the goose feather formerly used for writing and which was cut at an angle to obtain a tip with a thin line. The format, obtained from a smooth or striped pasta tube of variable length, has the characteristic diagonal cut typical of the writing pen. Penne are one of the few pasta moulds with a specific date of birth: in 1865, a pasta maker from San Martino d'Albaro (Genoa), Giovanni Battista Capurro, applied for and received a patent for a diagonal cutting machine. The patent was important because it allowed fresh noodles to be cut into pen form without crushing them, in a variable format between 3 and 5 centimeters (half penne or penne). We read in the document kept in the Central State Archives of Rome: "Until now, it has not been possible to achieve the diagonal cut only with hand scissors, a method that is not only too slow and expensive, but also has the disadvantage that it can be made an irregular cut and shred the pastes". Pennoni Rigati are ideal for preparing baked pies and are particularly suitable as a garnish with meat sauces, vegetables or pesto.
