Penne Rigate is similar in shape to a quill or a fountain pen nib. This pasta is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, making it a popular choice in both Italian and international cuisine.
 
Its hollow center allows it to hold onto sauces, making it ideal for hearty and chunky sauces like marinara, bolognese, or creamy Alfredo. Whether served hot in pasta dishes or cold in salads, Penne Rigate's unique shape and texture contribute to its ability to capture and enhance flavors.
 
There are different reasons why Pasta Cocco are so unique and still said to be among the best pasta in Italy. Produced with traditional old machines, Giuseppe Cocco has rebuilt right after the second world war, piece by piece, the necessary tools to continue his father’s know-how for Italian pasta making.
 
The Fara S. Martino region beneficiates also of an ideal climate, dry and ventilated, near a natural spring, that combined together, will provide the pasta maker with perfect drying pasta conditions.
 
Pasta Cocco is one of the remaining pasta producers in Italy to use such artisanal methods, that is translated into plates thanks to many Chefs worldwide appreciating their flavor and texture.
