What it is
It is shaped like penne, with short, hollow tubes that are cut at an angle on both ends. The texture and taste are designed to be similar to regular pasta, making it a versatile choice for many dishes.
How people cook with it
This pasta is excellent for a wide range of pasta dishes, from simple weeknight meals to more elaborate preparations. Its shape holds sauces well.
- Tossed with pesto
- Baked in casseroles
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with hearty meat sauces
Cook this pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The cooking time will be similar to regular pasta, but it is always best to test a piece for doneness. Drain the pasta well and toss immediately with your chosen sauce or other ingredients. It can also be used in baked dishes where it will continue to cook and absorb flavors.
How it differs from similar foods
This can result in a slightly different texture when cooked, sometimes a bit firmer, and it may absorb sauces differently.
Who it is for
