Rustichella d'Abruzzo Whole Wheat Penne Rigate is made from stone-ground whole wheat containing a very high percentage of bran, resulting in whole wheat pasta with wonderful bite. Penne rigate are the pointed tubes with ridges on the outside, perfect for catching finely-gound meat or vegetables. We love the nutty flavor of these whole grain noodles with mushroom sauce and in comforting baked pasta dishes like whole wheat mac and cheese. These hearty penne are also great in pasta salad.
