PENNE RIGATE GR. 500 Cav. Cocco

Penne rigate Cav. Cocco is a type of pasta made with durum wheat semolina and water. It is bronze drawn and then dried at a low temperature. This gives the pasta a rough and porous texture that holds the sauce well.

The pasta is produced in Fara San Martino, a small town in Abruzzo, Italy. The manufacturing company, Pastificio Cav. Giuseppe Cocco, has been in business for over 100 years and produces pasta using traditional methods.

Cav. Cocco penne rigate are a versatile pasta shape that can be enjoyed with a variety of sauces. They are particularly good with meat sauces, such as ragù or wild boar ragù. They can also be enjoyed with vegetable sauces or with a simple dressing of olive oil and parmesan.
