Penne pasta is the backbone of loads of comforting dishes. Its tubular shape is perfect for soaking up rich, velvety sauces, whether it's a classic marinara, creamy alfredo, or a bold arrabbiata. Toss it with roasted veg, melted cheese, or a dash of olive oil and plenty of herbs for a quick, satisfying meal. Just don’t forget to cook it al dente – no one likes mushy pasta.
