At Barilla, we’re passionate about pasta. After all, we have been pasta makers since 1877. As an Italian family-owned food company, Barilla pasta is synonymous with high quality and “al dente” perfection every time. Our Elbows, Penne, and Spaghetti are made from the finest durum wheat and is non-GMO verified, peanut-free and suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet. Perfect for twirling, too! Elbows, or “Chifferi” in Italian, are named for their curved, tubular shape. Penne means “pen” in Italian, and is a shape inspired by the quill of an old style ink pen. Did you know that spaghetti is the most popular shape in Italy? The word spaghetti comes from the Italian word “spaghi”, which means “lengths of cord.” Barilla® Elbows are ridged with an extra curve, giving it a more sophisticated pasta shape that helps to hold the sauce. 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. Twirled properly on a spoon or eaten with just a fork, Barilla® Spaghetti will maintain its authentic shape and hold on to just about any kind of sauce you enjoy.
Barilla® Elbows and Penne are crafted with the highest quality Non-GMO durum wheat semolina for a perfect “al dente” texture and delicious flavor. Give Barilla® Spaghetti a twirl! No doubt it’s the most fun pasta to eat and its delicious texture will please the whole family. A semi-circle pasta shape with an extra curve to hold sauces.
