Tri-Color Penne
BRIGHTEN UP YOUR PASTA RECIPE WITH TRI COLORED VEGETABLE PENNE
A colorful version of a pasta salad favorite, Tri-Color Penne combines our semolina with delicious spinach and tomato pasta. Penne, which means "pen" in Italian, gets its name from its shape. Their tube-shape with angled ends was inspired by the quill of an old style ink pen. This tri color pasta version packs in more nutrition and flavor, especially when cooked al dente.
