Details

Create a variety of signature pasta dishes with this Barilla tri-color penne rigate pasta. This versatile pasta cut's large diameter and ridges allow sauces to adhere to the entire surface of the noodle, making it an ideal pairing for meat-, dairy-, and tomato-based sauces and vegetables. Use it to serve Italian staples like penne alla vodka or penne all'arrabbiata or to serve simple yet elegant dishes that showcase fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, like ripe tomatoes and basil, or global ingredients, like a garlic cream sauce with Parmigiano-Reggiano. It is also an ideal choice for baked dishes and pasta salads and its orange, natural, and green noodles will help enhance the visual appeal to your dishes. No matter how it's prepared, Barilla pasta is trusted among Italian chefs and remains Italy's #1 brand of pasta for its reliability in texture and ability to complement fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

This pasta is made with the finest durum wheat semolina to deliver great taste and ensure an "al dente" texture your customers crave, every time. The semolina is combined with spinach and tomato to not only add color to the pasta but to also increase its nutritional benefits! To prepare, use 4-6 quarts of water per pound of pasta. Bring to a rolling boil and add salt to taste. Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir gently, and return to a boil. For "al dente" pasta, boil uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. For more tender pasta, boil for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and drain well. Simply add your preferred ingredients, plate, and serve!

In 1877, Pietro Barilla opened a bread and pasta shop in Parma, Italy with the dream of supplying his community with the most delicious handmade bread and pasta to serve at their own family tables. Pietro and his son Riccardo worked tirelessly to make and deliver their products daily to the streets of Parma and over the years began to purchase more advanced pasta-making technology and warehouse space to keep up with the demand. After years of success and expansion due to their commitment to quality, authentic products and a passion for innovation, Barilla has since positioned itself as the world's leading industrial pasta producer. It remains an Italian family-owned company that is dedicated to bring high-quality, nutritious products while supporting an environmentally-sustainable production process from field to fork.
