The quality of this authentic, artisanal pasta is unmatched. Imported from a sleepy countryside in southern Italy, only all-natural, simple, rustic ingredients go into these noodles, making them incredibly fresh-tasting and satisfying. Just durum wheat semolina, wheatmeal, flour, and water are used to form this light brown penne, which will take less than 15 minutes to prepare but will taste just like homemade. This is hearty and filling, which makes it the ultimate comfort food. This pasta is good enough to eat with just a sprinkle of olive oil and a dash of salt, but the ridges and ample surface area help the noodles hold rich sauces well, so you can dress this pasta up with redolent tomato, cream, or Bolognese sauces, or make a healthier penne vodka with this whole grain noodle. Make a spicy sauce and toss in grilled shrimp, or whip up a cold pasta salad to serve at a party. Toss with sautéed vegetables like eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and asparagus, and add globs of mozzarella or sprinkle fresh pecorino or parmesan for a nuttier touch.
