What are Penne Rigate no. 41
De Cecco's Penne Rigate no. 41 are one of the most classic and appreciated short pasta shapes. Packaged in a practical 3 kg format for the professional sector, they are made with high-protein durum wheat semolina (14%). Their characteristic oblique cut, reminiscent of ancient writing quills, and outer ridges are designed to perfectly hold any type of sauce.
The producer
De Cecco is a historic Italian brand founded in Fara San Martino (Abruzzo), globally renowned for its pasta-making art. The company stands out for its meticulous selection of the best durum wheat, kneading with cold spring water, bronze die extrusion, and slow drying at low temperatures—a method that preserves the pasta's organoleptic qualities and firmness.
Culinary characteristics
This shape guarantees excellent cooking resistance (12 minutes, 10 for al dente), always remaining firm and compact. The ridged surface is ideal for enhancing rich meat sauces, such as beef or pork ragù, but also pairs perfectly with vegetable-based sauces, Mediterranean dressings, and timeless classics like arrabbiata or boscaiola.
Use in professional kitchens
Thanks to their firmness, Penne Rigate no. 41 are perfect for optimizing time in high-volume kitchens. They can be pre-cooked or pan-tossed, and offer optimal performance even in baked pasta dishes, ensuring consistent quality during the most intense services.
Format and storage
The carton contains four 3 kg bags, designed to facilitate storage and use in commercial catering. It is recommended to store the product in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
