Ingredients: Semolina of durum wheat - may contain soy and mustard. In the family of short pasta with diagonal cut, smooth, Penne Lisce are among the most well-known and therefore also the most versatile shapes in the kitchen. The absence of ridges is compensated by a surprising softness, which gives the palate sublime sensations. Delicate and refined, they enhance aromas, flavors and fragrances to the maximum. The term Penne refers, in the Italian language, to the goose quill that was formerly used for writing and which was cut diagonally to obtain a tip with a fine line. The shape, obtained from a tube of pasta, smooth or ridged, of variable length, has the characteristic diagonal cut typical of a writing pen. Penne is one of the few pasta shapes with a certain date of birth: in 1865, in fact, a pasta maker from San Martino d'Albaro (Genoa), Giovanni Battista Capurro, requested and obtained a patent for a diagonal cutting machine. The patent was important because it allowed cutting the fresh pasta into the shape of a pen without crushing it, in a length variable between 3 and 5 centimeters (mezze penne or penne). It is written in the document kept at the Central State Archive in Rome: “Until today it was not possible to obtain the diagonal cut but with hand scissors, a method that besides being too slow and costly, had the drawback of producing an irregular cut and crushing the pasta." Pack of 12.
