365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Penne Rigate, 16 oz

Premium organic pasta, crafted in Italy

365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Penne Rigate is crafted in Italy at an authentic pastificio committed to quality. Made from organic durum wheat semolina, this pasta presents a clean, nutty aroma and a pale golden hue that signals premium ingredients. The dry penne arrives with gentle contours that swell to a tender, toothsome bite when cooked, creating a reliable foundation for a wide range of sauces and recipes.

From the moment you open the bag, you may notice a subtle wheat aroma and the sturdy, ridged tubes that promise dependable performance in the kitchen. The hollow center and ridged exterior are designed to hold onto sauces, chunks of vegetables, and cheese, helping each forkful deliver a balanced texture and flavor across dishes.

Designed for sauce-holding, versatile in cooking

The hollow, ridged shape is engineered to cling to sauces and maintain its structure through cooking, whether you’re tossing with a quick tomato glaze or building a heartier baked dish. The result is a satisfying bite that stays firm as it heats, making it a dependable base for both weeknight meals and more elaborate plates.
