Penne

  • Shape: Penne
  • Description: With a name derived from the Italian for “feather” or “pen,” penne are short, cylindrical shapes with their ends cut at an angle. Available smooth or ridged, penne are one of the most versatile—and popular—shapes, and are well suited for nearly any sauce-based dish or casserole.

Details

APPLICATIONS

A pasta's ingredient blend is a major factor in determining its application suitability. To ensure pastas meet your needs, reference the ingredients used in its manufacture, in many cases, blends can be customized to your specifications.

INGREDIENTS

Different shape and ingredient blends define a pasta's characteristics, which may include cook time, processing durability and more. Applications describe the most suitable and common uses for various pastas.

Thickness

For penne, the positions of measurement for thicknesses are the valleys between ridges. Measurements are taken using either precision digital calipers or point micrometers.

Width

The outside diameters of penne are determined after taking two measurements, requiring the pastas to be rotated 90° between measurements. Measurements are taken using precision digital calipers.

Length

The lengths of penne can be determined as either the distances between tips or cuts (per customer requirements). Measurements are taken using precision digital calipers.

Moisture

To assure specified moisture, two batch samples are ground, weighed, heated in an air oven, placed in a desiccator and then re-weighed. Results are validated using two moisture validation machines.
