Penne Zite Rigate is a type of Italian pasta known for its cylindrical shape with diagonal cuts at both ends, similar to traditional penne, but with the addition of ridges along its surface. These ridges, or “rigate,” help the pasta hold onto sauces more effectively, making each bite more flavourful. Typically about 2 inches (5 cm) long, Penne Zite Rigate is made from durum wheat semolina, giving it a firm texture that holds up well during cooking.
This pasta’s ridged exterior and hollow centre make it exceptionally versatile and perfect for a variety of dishes. Penne Zite Rigate pairs well with both creamy and chunky sauces, allowing the ridges to catch every bit of flavour. It’s often used in baked dishes like pasta al forno, where it can absorb the rich flavours of sauces and cheeses while maintaining its shape. It also works wonderfully with hearty meat ragùs, vegetable sauces, and lighter preparations with olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs.
The combination of its sturdy texture and ability to hold sauces both inside and out makes Penne Zite Rigate a popular choice for many traditional Italian recipes and modern pasta dishes alike.
