Armando Mezza Penna Rigata Pasta 500g

Classic Italian Short Pasta with Perfect Sauce Grip

Armando Pasta Mezza Penna Rigata 500g is a premium Italian pasta made from 100% high quality durum wheat semolina, crafted using traditional techniques to deliver exceptional texture, flavour and consistency in every dish.

“Mezza penna” translates to “half penne”, a shorter version of the classic penne shape. With its diagonal cut ends and ridged surface (rigata), this pasta is specifically designed to hold and capture sauces, ensuring every bite is rich and flavourful.

Produced using traditional methods, including slow drying and bronze die shaping, the pasta develops a slightly rough texture that enhances sauce adhesion and delivers a perfect al dente finish. Like all Armando pasta, it is made through a controlled Italian wheat supply chain, ensuring purity, quality and consistent performance.

Compact in size yet highly versatile, mezza penna rigata is ideal for everyday cooking, from simple tomato dishes to more complex baked or creamy recipes.
