The large diameter, combined with the ridges that Penne & Rigatoni bring, make them ideal to retain sauces on the entire surface, inside and out!

As with the larger version Penne, Mezze Penne resembles an old-style quill pen, only in a smaller size. This shape is enjoyed throughout Northern Italy and in Campagnia where it is prized for its wonderful versatility and its ability to absorb and retain sauce on its surfaces, inside and out. Barilla’s Mezze Penne is very slender and slightly shorter than Penne; this smaller version maintains the ridges that help to hold the sauce on this delicate shape, resulting in a tantalizing taste experience. Whether bathed in a rich tomato sauce, tossed with vegetables and extra virgin olive oil, or paired with a traditional spicy arrabiata or puttanesca sauce, Barilla Mezze Penne is the perfect pasta partner for your table.
