Penne rigate Michele Portoghese - 500 g
Part of the short, ridged, oblique-cut pasta family, penne are perfect for baked pasta dishes or pasta dishes with pork or beef sauces. They also pair well with vegetable-based sauces like peppers, courgettes, and artichokes.
Michele Portoghese Pasta is a true artisanal creation, inspired by the timeless traditions of Italian pasta-making.
Many years ago, pasta was crafted entirely by hand. After carefully kneading the dough, it was shaped using a traditional press and left to dry naturally under the warmth of the sun or by the gentle heat of a fireplace. This slow, patient process gave pasta its distinctive flavor, texture, and authenticity.
Today, Michele Portoghese Pasta continues to honor these traditional methods while embracing the highest modern quality standards. Only carefully selected grains are used, expertly blended into premium semolina to ensure excellence in every batch. The drying process remains slow and carried out at low temperatures, the most delicate and crucial phase of production. Temperature control is essential, as it directly influences flavor development, protein integrity, and overall nutritional value.
