Agnesi Penne Rigate is an authentic Italian short pasta cut produced and packed in Italy. The iconic ridged design and angled cuts are crafted to hold sauces perfectly. Agnesi uses only premium durum wheat semolina and water, resulting in a high protein content that holds its shape and maintains a firm "al dente" texture during cooking. This pasta is vegetarian, low in sodium, and cholesterol-free.
Brand History and Legacy
Founded by Paolo Battista Agnesi in 1824 in the Liguria region, Agnesi is recognized as one of Italy's oldest pasta makers. In the 19th century, the Agnesi family utilized their own fleet of sailing ships to travel and source the finest durum wheat, which remains the brand's symbol of quality and tradition today. The brand combines this historic legacy with modern production techniques.
