Our pasta factory is the only one that does not produce any ridged Penne
Smooth or Ridged? We solve the dilemma: in the Neapolitan tradition,
Penne were born smooth and that’s how we love them. If it is cold-worked, bronze-drawn and slow-dried, smooth pasta becomes porous and does not need the ridges to hold the sauce. Indeed, the more uniform thickness compared to its ridged sister makes it particularly refined. Just drizzle a little olive oil over it to understand the difference!
