Derived from the Latin word for “feather” or “quill,” penne rigate is an angular cut of pasta edged with ridges that holds sauce on its surface especially well. Our version is made using durum wheat semolina organically grown on a small cooperative of family farms in the rolling hills overlooking the Adriatic Sea. It’s a natural fit for topping with sauces such as pesto, marinara or arrabbiata.

About Montebellow Established 1388

When it comes to great pasta, we go straight to the source: the skilled Italian artisans of Montebello. Using old-world techniques, they combine organic semolina flour with a sprinkling of pure water from a neighboring spring. The delicate dough is then shaped through bronze and traditional dies and left to gradually air-dry, a meticulous process that results in pasta perfection. Bite for bite, it’s as delicious as homemade, delivering Italian excellence to any dish.
