Penne are short, tube-shaped pasta with diagonally cut ends and often ridged surfaces. The hollow center and firm bite help capture chunky sauces and baked toppings. Common uses include oven bakes, skillet sauces, and cold salads; they are typically sold as ridged penne rigate or smooth penne lisce.

Originating in Italy and widely adopted across Europe and the Americas, penne are extruded from durum semolina and then dried. The shape is a staple of Italian and Italian-American cooking and is produced globally by artisanal and industrial pasta makers.
