Setaro Organic Penne Rigate combines the versatility of one of Italy’s best-known pasta shapes with the craftsmanship of the Setaro family pasta factory in Torre Annunziata, Campania. Penne takes its name from penna, meaning “pen” or “quill,” a reference to the tubular pasta’s characteristic diagonally cut ends. Rigate means ridged, and those grooves provide extra surface for sauces to cling to while the hollow center captures even more flavor. Setaro’s traditional production philosophy centers on bronze-die shaping and slow, low-temperature drying, techniques that further contribute to the pasta’s desirable texture. This organic version is a versatile choice for penne all’arrabbiata, tomato and basil sauces, pesto, vegetables, sausage, creamy preparations, and baked pasta. A classic shape elevated by an artisan producer with roots dating to 1939.
