Barilla Whole Grain pasta is from 100% whole wheat and provides the same great taste, “al dente” texture, and quality you have come to expect from Barilla, Italy's #1 brand of pasta. Our Whole Grain Penne is a delicious, excellent source of all natural fiber and delivers 56g of whole grain in each serving. Suitable for peanut-free and vegan or vegetarian diets. Penne means "pen" in Italian, and is a shape inspired by the quill of an old style ink pen. The beautifully ridged shape of Penne can be served in a variety of ways: with meat- and vegetable-based sauces to olive oil- and dairy-based sauces, or bake it in your favorite pasta casserole.
