barilla penne

Barilla gluten-free penne is made from a two-ingredient blend of rice and corn. It is produced with non-GMO ingredients on a dedicated gluten-free production line.

Barilla Protein+ penne provides 17 g of plant-based protein per 3.5 oz (serving).

Certifications vary by product. Common labels you may see on Barilla penne include Non-GMO verification, Kosher certification, and certified gluten-free on gluten-free varieties. Check the package label for the specific certifications that apply to each product.

For an al dente texture, bring 4–6 quarts of salted water to a boil, add the gluten-free penne, and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes. Many gluten-free varieties list 10–12 minutes total cooking time; 10 minutes is commonly suggested for a firmer, al dente bite.

Penne pairs well with chunkier meat or vegetable sauces, tomato-based sauces, creamy dairy-based sauces (like carbonara), and oil- or butter-based sauces. Its ridges and hollow shape make it versatile for everything from simple marinara to hearty ragù and creamy cheese sauces.
