Penne recipes
Penne is one of the most popular pasta shapes, famous as the base of arrabbiata, amatriciana and pasta alla vodka, but its joy is its versatility. Easy to fork, and great for scooping up meat or vegetarian sauces, the possibilities with penne know no bounds.
Try our penne with lentils and mushrooms for an easy vegetarian ragù, opt for our roasted pepper and spinach pasta bake. If you’re in the mood for tuna, our tuna and anchovy pasta will hit the spot. Or go for our meaty-as-you like Macaronade Sétoise, made with steak, pork ribs and sausages.
