Whole Wheat Penne Rigate – 28 Pasta Makers

Whole wheat penne rigate are the perfect pasta shape for cold summer recipes, pasta salads, and, in general, with sauces and seafood and vegetable dishes, thanks to their excellent ability to hold sauces and the unique, bold flavor of farro dicoccum. Farro boasts ancient origins. In particular, farro dicoccum (Triticum dicoccum), which we have carefully and passionately selected, was cultivated as early as the 6th millennium BC in Egypt and was later imported to Italy, right on these hills, where it was cultivated by the Ancient Romans. Today, as then, our farro dicoccum is hulled and stone-milled to preserve its flavor and nutritional qualities. Farro has a unique flavor, unlike any other pasta you’ve ever tasted, pleasant on the palate and profound on the nose, thanks to its unmistakable hazelnut notes, making it a healthy and delicious alternative for experimenting with new recipes that showcase authentic, flavorful ingredients. This pasta is also good for your health thanks to its many beneficial properties: high in protein, a source of digestible fiber, essential amino acids, vitamins (vitamin A, thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, and niacin B3), and minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and potassium. Naturally, it’s also highly digestible, given its better glycemic index than durum wheat and a balanced protein content, while being low in fat and calories.
