Penne
is a type of pasta. Pieces have a cylindrical shape and, usually,
their ends are cut diagonally. Penne is the plural form of the
Italian penna, deriving from Latin penna (meaning "feather"
or "quill").
In
Italy, penne are produced in two variants: "penne lisce"
(smooth) and "penne rigate" (furrowed), the latter
having ridges on each noodle.
Penne
is traditionally cooked to al-dente and served with pasta sauses
such as pesto. Penne is a popular ingredient in pasta salads.
