Mezze Penne Rigate is a smaller version of the much loved Penne Pasta, with Mezze translated in English to "half" and Rigate to "ridges", it is half the size of a standard penne with ridges along the length of the pasta ensuring the best hold for your pasta sauce. Try them with tomato sauce and basil to appreciate quality and simplicity together. - Made in Italy - Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta - 14% Protein Pasta - Bronze Drawn Pasta - Pasta Di Gragnano IGP - Suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian Diets - Kosher certified - Egg Free Garofalo pasta is formed through a bronze die, this method allows a little friction on the surface of the pasta, which becomes slightly rough and porous allowing the sauce to cling and be absorbed into the pasta giving a delightful eating experience!
