Al Bronzo Short Pasta

This roasted-tomato sauce is made to cling, pairing perfectly with Al Bronzo Penne Rigate. The bronze-die ridges catch the deep, blended tomato flavour, and the pasta’s excellent al dente texture makes finishing in the pan easy and precise. Goat cheese and basil complete the plate, and the last streak of sauce calls for scarpetta.
