- Mezze Penne
As with the larger version Penne, Mezze Penne resembles an old-style quill pen. This
shape is enjoyed throughout Northern Italy and in Campania, where it is
prized for its wonderful versatility and its ability to absorb and retain
sauce on its surfaces, inside and out.
Barilla® Mezze Penne is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.

Perfect for ...
The
large diameter and ridges of Mezze Penne make it ideal for retaining sauces
on the entire surface, inside and out! Try Mezze Penne with chunkier meat or
vegetable-based sauces, refined dairy-based sauces such as mushroom cream
sauce, or even tomato sauces. Mezze Penne is also delicious in baked
casserole dishes, known as “pasta al forno".

Our Chef’s tip
Add a generous pinch of sea salt to the cooking water to enhance the pasta’s flavor.
Avoid adding oil to the water as it prevents sauce from clinging to the pasta.
