What is Whole Wheat Pennette Rigate Barilla (Raw)?
Whole Wheat Pennette Rigate Barilla is a dry pasta made from whole-wheat flour. Pennette are short, diagonally cut tubes with ridges, a shape associated with Italian pasta; the grooves help sauce cling. Cook it in boiling water before eating. It has a pleasantly firm, substantial bite when cooked al dente.
In Italy it works with tomato, vegetable and other everyday pasta sauces, and it is just as easy to use in meals around the world. Whole wheat makes it a fibre-rich source of complex carbohydrates, with 7 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter plate, toss it with vegetables and tomato sauce rather than a heavy creamy sauce.
