Making Italy's best pasta for over 140 years, Barilla Pasta Classic Mezze Penne Tricolore pay homage to the colours of the Italian flag while resembling a mini version of a quill from days gone by. Pair your Mezze Penne Tricolore with a hearty ragu for the ultimate comforting meal. Part of our Classic Blue Box range, which means perfect, quality 'al dente' pasta every time, our Barilla Pasta Mezze Penne Tricolore cooks in just 11 minutes. Simply bring water to a boil in a large pot, add the Linguine, and a generous pinch of sea salt to the cooking water to enhance the pasta's flavour. For authentic 'al dente' pasta, boil uncovered, stirring occasionally for 11 minutes. For pasta that's more tender, boil for an additional minute. Drain well and serve the Mezze Penne Tricolore immediately with your favourite Barilla sauce. With a variety of shapes in our line of gourmet pasta, you're sure to cook quality 'al dente' pasta every time. From our short pasta like Blue Box Elbows or Farfalle to long pasta shapes such as Blue Box Spaghetti or Fettuccine, you're guaranteed to always get a perfect 'al dente' bite. At Barilla, we are passionate about pasta and have been sharing our passion with the world since 1877. We believe that cooking for someone can be a true sign of love, told in a few minutes by preparing a beautiful dish of pasta for the people you care about most. At Barilla, we strive to make pasta and sauce products that are good for you and good for the planet. Barilla. A sign of love.
