De Cecco Penne Rigate 500g

Product Description

Bring the flavour of traditional Italian pasta-making to your kitchen with De Cecco Penne Rigate 500g, a premium dried pasta made from durum wheat semolina and produced in Italy. With its distinctive ridged exterior and hollow tubular shape, Penne Rigate is one of the most versatile pasta formats for everyday cooking.

The ridges on the surface are particularly useful because they help sauces cling to the pasta, while the hollow centre allows sauce to reach inside. This makes De Cecco Penne Rigate an excellent choice for tomato sauces, pesto, creamy sauces, meat sauces and vegetable-based preparations.

The convenient 500g pack is suitable for families, couples, students, busy professionals, restaurants, caterers and pasta enthusiasts. It is a practical pantry staple for weekday dinners, weekend meals, meal preparation and entertaining.

De Cecco's pasta-making tradition focuses on the quality of the wheat and the texture of the finished pasta. The brand uses durum wheat semolina and traditional production techniques, including rough extrusion, which creates a textured surface designed to help sauces adhere to the pasta.

For a simple Italian-inspired dinner, cook De Cecco Penne Rigate in plenty of salted boiling water until al dente. Toss it with a tomato and basil sauce, pesto or your favourite pasta preparation.

For a quick pesto dish, combine the cooked penne with Barilla Pesto Genovese 190g and a little reserved pasta water. Add cherry tomatoes, grilled chicken, spinach or grated cheese to create a satisfying lunch or dinner.

Penne Rigate is also excellent with hearty sauces. Combine it with minced beef and tomato sauce for a comforting pasta meal, or use chicken, mushrooms and a creamy sauce for a richer preparation. Its ridges and hollow shape help distribute these sauces throughout the dish.

For Mediterranean-inspired cooking, combine De Cecco Penne Rigate with Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil, garlic, herbs, vegetables and cheese. Add prawns, tuna or grilled chicken for a more substantial meal.

The shape also performs particularly well in baked pasta dishes. Combine cooked penne with tomato sauce, vegetables, meat and cheese, then bake until hot and bubbling. This makes it an excellent option for family dinners and entertaining.

De Cecco Penne Rigate can also be used for cold pasta salads. Cook the pasta, allow it to cool and combine it with tomatoes, cucumber, olives, sweetcorn, cheese, tuna, chicken and a vinaigrette. The ridged surface helps the dressing coat the pasta effectively.

De Cecco has a long Italian history dating back to 1886, when Filippo Giovanni De Cecco established the company in Abruzzo. The brand has retained its connection to traditional Italian pasta-making while developing modern production methods.

De Cecco's production approach includes rough extrusion and slow, low-temperature drying. According to the company, its rough pasta surface helps sauces adhere effectively, making the pasta particularly suitable for sauce-based dishes.
