Makvel Striped Pennies are classic Italian pasta, recognizable by their distinctive shape - short with a ridged surface and angled edges. This shape is functional, allowing sauces to be more effectively held both inside the hollow tubes and on the outer surface of the pasta.

Thanks to this, Penne Rigate are incredibly versatile and pair well with a variety of sauces, including meat-based, vegetable-based, and spicy tomato sauces. Penne Rigate are beloved worldwide and are commonly used in a range of dishes, from cold pasta salads to baked dishes like pastitsio.

Their versatility allows for creative preparation of different meals, making them a favorite among pasta lovers.
