Mini Penne

As with the larger version Penne, Mini 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^® Mini Penne is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
