Preparation & Use

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add penne and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, typically 10 to 12 minutes, then drain. For baked dishes, slightly undercook the pasta by one to two minutes so it finishes in the oven without becoming soft. Whole grain penne benefits from generous sauce coverage; its slightly nuttier flavor and firmer bite pair well with robust tomato sauces, creamy cheese sauces, and herbed butter preparations.
