De Cecco Penne Rigate - Gluten Free

Penne rigate — ridged tubes cut on the diagonal — from De Cecco, the Abruzzese pasta house that's been at it since 1886. The ridges aren't decoration: they're what makes sauce cling to a smooth tube. This is their gluten-free version, 12oz, made from corn and rice flour. Cook it a minute shy of the box time, because gluten-free pasta goes from al dente to mush faster than wheat does. Classic pairings: arrabbiata, vodka sauce, sausage with broccoli rabe. Pesto if you want it simple. Don't bother reheating leftovers — it won't be the same pasta tomorrow.
