Overview

Mancini Penne Rigate is a premium Italian pasta known for its ridged, tube-like shape that expertly captures sauces. A staple in Italian cuisine, penne rigate is distinguished by its diagonally cut ends and grooved exterior, making it one of the most versatile pasta shapes. Produced by Mancini, a renowned artisanal pasta maker in Italy’s Marche region, this pasta is crafted using traditional methods and wheat grown exclusively on the company’s own fields. Its firm texture and superior sauce absorption make it ideal for a wide range of classic and contemporary dishes.

Quality & Sourcing

Mancini Penne Rigate is made from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, cultivated and milled directly by Mancini to ensure full traceability and quality control. The pasta is extruded through bronze dies, creating a rough surface that enhances sauce adhesion. It undergoes a slow-drying process at low temperatures, which preserves the wheat’s natural flavors and nutrients while improving the pasta’s texture and digestibility. These meticulous production methods ensure a pasta that maintains its integrity and al dente bite during cooking.

Versatility

Mancini Penne Rigate is a highly versatile pasta, suitable for a wide variety of sauces and cooking styles. Its ridged texture makes it perfect for hearty, thick sauces such as bolognese, arrabbiata, and vodka sauce, as well as creamy preparations like alfredo and pesto. It also works beautifully in baked pasta dishes like pasta al forno or pasta gratin, where its sturdy shape holds up well under heat. Additionally, Mancini Penne Rigate is excellent for cold pasta salads, allowing it to absorb dressings and ingredients while maintaining its texture.
