Barilla 16 oz. Collezione Penne Pasta - 12/Case

Details

Create a variety of signature pasta dishes with this Barilla 16 oz. Collezione penne 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 al'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's also great for baked dishes and casseroles like pasta al forno and timballo. 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 artisanal pasta is crafted with the highest quality, non-GMO ingredients, including the finest hard durum wheat flour, to deliver a robust taste and the "al dente" texture your customers crave, every time. Barilla's Collezione line is crafted the old-fashioned way, using traditional Italian bronze plates to cut and shape the noodles. This method gives the noodles a more textured surface for sauce to cling to, thus adding more flavor to each bite and elevating your guests' dining experience.

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 12 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! Each case comes with (12) 16 oz. boxes per case to provide ample stock for your restaurant, cafe, or catered event. In addition to being used in the kitchen, its retail packaging also makes it great for merchandising at your market or convenience store for your customers to purchase by the 16 oz. box.

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.
