Whole Wheat Penne Ziti Rigate April 2017 Degustabox.
A pleasure to eat, Garofalo organic whole wheat Penne Pasta is rich in aromas and unique in taste and texture. Made with unprocessed whole organic durum wheat means that its natural bran, germ, fibre, vitamins and minerals remain intact; giving many health benefits. And it cooks in just 11 minutes!
Penne are probably the most popular tubular pasta types around. The word Penne means "quills" and refers to straight tubes of pasta cut diagonally at the ends (like a quill pen). Rigate means "ridges" which helps hold more sauce on the pasta than the smooth penne type.
Penne makes excellent and versatile pasta for many applications because of the very practical design. The angle cut of the end makes a large surface area for sauce to fall into and be drawn up the tube which means they are great for pairing with thick tomato sauces, meat sauces, chunky vegetable sauces, and thick cream sauces.
Garofalo Whole wheat Penne is Organic, suitable for vegetarians and vegans and it is certified Kosher.
A bit about Garofalo:
PASTA GAROFALO is unique because it makes pasta as it should be done. Excellent pasta is made with high quality durum wheat semolina – no secret ingredients.
Pasta is simply made with water and durum wheat semolina and you can't produce excellent pasta if the best wheat is not used, it is the quality and quantity of gluten present primarily that determines the quality of the wheat; Garofalo only use high quality durum wheat semolina that meets strictly controlled criteria for every pack of pasta with the Garofalo signature on it.
It is not only in the selection of the wheat but the forming of the shape. Once the paste is formed, it is extruded through a die to form the different shapes. Using a traditional die made from bronze results in slightly rough texture on the surface of the pasta allowing the sauce to cling to the pasta resulting in a lovely mix of pasta and sauce in each mouthful! The alternative is a die made from Teflon (cheaper than the bronze die), which gives smooth and slippery pasta surface. At Garofalo we use bronze dies.
PASTA GAROFALO has a range of pasta types, from the traditional, whole wheat and organic to gluten free and a range for children. That's 5 ranges and 42 different shapes. If you love fusilli but want organic whole wheat fusilli, we have it, and also Fusilli Lunghi, Tricolore Fusilli, and the Fusilli Bucati Corti. But if you want something completely different we have Casarecce, Gemelli, Papardelle and many more! All made with high quality ingredients creating a truly tasty Italian pasta.

Expensive for a packet of pasta. most pastas are around £1 or less. wouldnt pay so much for it.

Haven't been able to find this in the supermarket, would like to see more readily available.

Tastes like every other pasta. would rather buy the shops own brand for a fraction of the cost
Katie w.
I loved the inclusion of pasta.
Felicia r.
It's a product i only buy when on offer, as i think that £2.19 for pasta is a rip off, even if i really like its quality... but i'm from italy so i know its real price...
Natalie h.
Would be better packaged in a box like barilla.
