Barilla Classic Penne Rigate Pasta 500g
Barilla’s classic Penne Rigate is one of the most famous Italian pasta shapes and popular all over Italy. The name Penne, which means pen in Italian, is derived from the shape of the pasta. The tubular cut with bevelled ends is inspired by the quill of an old writing pen. Suitable for almost any pasta sauce, whether it’s oil, dairy or tomato-based, opt for a classic Italian dish like Penne all’Arrabbiata or Penne alla Carbonara. Part of our Classic Blue Box range, which means perfect, quality al dente pasta every time, our Penne Rigate cooks in just 11 minutes.

We loved this pasta and I do buy this one

Great quality. Pasta wasn’t too smooth which meant the sauce sticks well. Doesn’t fall apart.

Great quality pasta. Easy to prepare, does not go mushy or stick to the pan. Convenient and versatile. Easy to switch up the sauce with the pasta, it goes with everything. Perfect for a range of meals. Has a great flavour and texture.

I have been buying Barilla for so long as it’s my favourite pasta brand. Exceptional value. It’s a great ‘ all rounder’ pasta shape. Barilla Penne Rigate holds any sauce added to it so well. This shape holds any sauce used in either hot meals or pasta salads. I will continue to purchase. Perfect match with Pesto Genovese.

An excellent quality pasta. Great texture and flavour, you really can tell the difference between this and lower quality brands.
Mark McGrath –
Great pasta, I’ll buy again when I compare to others.
Even better when it comes in cardboard box that recycles compared to plastic wrapping.
