Penne is another famous Italian pasta shape and means pen in Italian, getting its name from its tube-shape with angled ends, very similar to the quill of an old-style ink pen. Its addition rigate stands for striped, referring to the ridges on the surface. They are most commonly served with chunkier meat or vegetable-based sauce and spicy tomato-based sauces as their large diameter and ridges make it ideal for retaining sauces on the entire surface, inside and out. Penne is also a favourite in baked pasta dishes.
