Pasta Panarese Pennoni Pasta - Wheat Large Penne Pasta Made in Italy, 500g / 17.63oz (2 pack)

Pennoni is a type of pasta that is similar to Penne Rigate, but with a larger diameter and a shorter length. It is often used in baked pasta dishes, such as Pennoni al forno, which is a delicious dish made with a rich meat sauce and béchamel sauce. Pennoni’s larger size and thickness make it more satisfying to chew, and its al dente texture is perfect for holding any sauce, from traditional meat or tomato-based sauces to more innovative and original ones made with vegetables and cheese. Can you imagine pasta drying slowly at low temperatures, locking in the true taste of the grain? Well, that's exactly what happens in our Pastificio (Pasta Factory) Within the province of Siena resides the Val d'Orcia (Orcia Valley), with its rolling hills and strings of cypress trees that outline the individual landowners' properties and old farmhouses or castles adorning every hilltop. In this idyllic setting, a few miles from Castiglione d'Orcia, you will find the Pastificio Toscano run by the Panarese family. This pasta is unique, as it is made from wheat grown and harvested by ourselves on our land, using only the purest water from the nereby Mt. Amiata, which is renowned for its lack of calcium and solid residues. These pure ingredients are processed in our pasta lab, where the formats are bronze drawn and air dried for up to 72 hours. This process ensures that the pasta has the right surface texture to capture any condiment of choice, and the lack of any applied heat during the drying process ensures that the pasta doesn't lose any of its properties. The clayey soils and summer dryness of the Orcia Valley contribute to high protein and gluten quality, imparting exceptional texture and a distinctive taste to the pasta.
