To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the penne and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, meaning it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to a cold pasta salad, or incorporated into a baked casserole. The ridges on the penne help capture and hold sauces, ensuring flavor in every bite.
