Ingredients: Durum wheat semolina pasta: Durum wheat semolina - may contain soy and mustard. Of the family of short angled pasta, rigate, Penne Rigate are among the most well-known types of pasta and therefore also the most versatile in the kitchen. The term Penne refers, in the Italian language, to the goose quill once used for writing and which was cut at an angle to achieve a tip with a fine stroke. The shape, obtained from a tube of pasta, smooth or ridged, of variable length, features the characteristic diagonal cut typical of writing pens. Penne are one of the few types of pasta 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 for cutting fresh pasta into the shape of a pen without crushing it, with a size ranging from 3 to 5 centimeters (half penne or penne). It is stated in the document preserved at the Central State Archive of Rome: “Until today it was not possible to achieve the diagonal cut that with scissors by hand, a method that in addition to being too slow and costly had the drawback of producing an irregular cut and crushing the pasta."
