Penne Rigate Pasta

Penne rigate pasta is a dried, ridged tube pasta cut on the diagonal, supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, takeaways, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. Also sold as ridged penne, it is one of the most flexible short pasta shapes for a commercial kitchen. The ridges grip sauce, and the hollow tube keeps its shape when boiled, baked and reheated. Buying wholesale keeps your pasta station stocked through every service.

Key Features of Wholesale Penne Rigate Pasta

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: A bulk pack suits restaurants, cafes and catering kitchens that go through dried pasta every week. It also gives retailers and re-packers stock to portion for resale.
• Trade Pricing: Buying in bulk lowers your cost per portion. It also makes pasta spend easier to forecast at a competitive trade price.
• Ridged Surface: The fine grooves along each tube grip tomato, cream, ragù and pesto sauces. Sauce coats every piece instead of pooling in the bowl.
• Hollow Tube Shape: Sauce and melted cheese collect inside the tube, which suits oven bakes and tray dishes. The cut ends stay defined in a hot oven.
• Even, Portionable Pieces: Uniform short lengths cook evenly in large batches. They are easy to portion by scoop or ladle on a busy line.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep the box in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong odours. Reseal or decant into airtight containers after opening.
