Penne Pasta

Penne is a tube-shaped Italian pasta, typically made from durum wheat semolina and available with smooth (lisce) or ridged (rigate) surfaces. It’s commonly served with tomato- or cream-based sauces, tossed with vegetables or proteins, or baked in casseroles, and people often track it to log portion size, carbohydrates and other macronutrients, or to note ingredients relevant to dietary preferences (e.g., gluten).
