What's penne pasta?
 

I assume it's a pasta shape. I looked in Google but while seeing lots of
recipes I couldn't find a description.

Penne means pen (or pencil), I think, and that's the shape of the
pasta. But, I'm not sure.

Are you familiar with Google images? It should give you a pic faster than
you can say penne.

I am under the *impression* penne may be marketed as ziti in the USA.

From the Ronzoni web site:

Penne Rigate Definition & Description: From the Latin for "feathers"
(reminiscent of old-fashioned quill pens) they are diagonally cut tubular
shapes with ridged surfaces. Best Uses: Versatile in size and shape, penne
takes only 6 minutes to cook! Use it in entrées, side dishes, soup, oven
bakes or cold salads. Most pasta sauces are great with penne, but thinner
sauces will cling to ridges in penne.

There's a taxonomy he

Ziti: straight macaroni with a medium diameter (smaller is just
"macaroni" and bigger gets into the "manicotti" and "canneloni" range)

Penne or Penne Ziti: Ziti with the ends cut obliquely, like a quill
pen

Penne Rigate: Penne with ridges on the outside

Penne Lisce: Penne with a non-ridged surface

Rigatoni: Ziti with ridges on the outside and a straight-cut end

And, oh yeah, a couple of thousand years of spaghetti bending has made
it even more complicated than that:

Yes. Penne is a pasta shape. What description do you need?

No. It is impossible . Penne are these:

http://images.google.it/images?q=pen...Cerca+immagini

They can be "lisce or rigate" (Smooth or striped).

Ziti are these:

http://images.google.it/imgres?imgur...lr%3D%26sa%3DN

They are similar to "Bucatini" but with a bigger diameter. They generally
use them not long as they are, but broken in 4" pieces.

The shape of pasta "penne" it's more similar to a pen (pencil) not to a
plume :)

Nope. Penne is so named because it is representitive of a plume, a
quill pen (a pen made from a feather)... the modern pencil had not yet
been invented at the time of the penne designation for that particular
pasta configuration. I'll let yoose investigate the etymology for
pencil.

Correct. The pencil (wooden sheath and graphite) was invented in 1795.
"Goose pen" (feather with properly cut hollow shaft or calamus [hence the
italian word "calamaio" for ink pot]) is far more acient.

Oh gosh... The fountain pen (as we know it today) is dated 1850 although
there are examples dated 960 AD. ;-)

You too trying to teach italian cuisine to our American friends? ;-)
I'm from Milan. Thus, with my friends from Naples and Taranto (not to
mention the ones from Tuscany, Emilia and Veneto) we can cover at least 7
regions :-)

> BTW I meant investigations on penne:)

What else to know? Penne were first made in Gragnano (Naples) between 1600
and 1800. There's no patend pending and no offficial birth date ;-)

Sheldon you ignorant burger flipper.

Note clear depiction of extrusion at bottom of machine.

The first mention of the word "spaghetti" in /english/ was in 1849.
Who knows how long the Italians were using the words spaghetti

You are so ****ing sad.
