Organic Brown Rice Penne Rigate are part of the gluten-free line of Rustichella d'Abruzzo, the family pasta maker founded in 1924 in Penne, Abruzzo, and now run by the fourth generation in Moscufo. The pasta is made only with organic, GMO-free brown rice flour and water, shaped into ridged, pointed tubes that hold meat or vegetable ragu well. It is made in a separate gluten-free facility, away from any contact with conventional wheat flour. It has a mild brown rice flavor and an al dente bite after 7 to 9 minutes in plenty of salted boiling water, and it is more delicate than wheat pasta, so it should not be overcooked. A natural fit for specialty grocery, gourmet retail, natural food stores and Italian delis building an organic and gluten-free set, and a reliable option for restaurants with gluten-free menus. A recognized Italian artisan name in the gluten-free aisle helps it hold a premium price and earn repeat purchases. Cross-sells with tomato sauces, vegetable ragu, pesto, extra virgin olive oil and the rest of the Rustichella d'Abruzzo gluten-free line.
