What Is the Difference Between Penne and Penne Rigate?
Penne and penne rigate are both cylindrical pasta shapes, but penne rigate has ridges on the surface. The ridges provide texture, allowing penne rigate to hold onto sauces better than smooth penne. As a result, penne rigate is heartier and more suited for thicker, chunkier sauces that can cling to the ridges. Smooth penne is better for lighter, thinner sauces.
