Excellent product. Easy and quick to use. Has good long date 12/2026. Will buy again.

So happy to get Penne in bulk....and it is Barilla to boot. Amazing product. We use a lot of Pasta ant getting this in bulk is a great value as well as convenient. I always have at least one homemade jar of sauce so keeping pasta during the Winter weather is a no brainer. Like that these are the normal size boxes and that they are easy to story. This beats running for bread, milk and eggs when a storm is predicted.

taste great

Likely the best pasta for this amount of money. It cooks in 11-12 min and it is best when a bit hard, in Italian “al dente”. Did you know that you digest the pasta better when it is harder? When it is too cooked, or soft, it is more difficult to digest.Penne means "pen" in Italian, because of its tube-shape with angled ends which was inspired by the quill of an old style ink pen.The large diameter and ridges on the outside of Penne make it ideal for retaining sauces on the entire surface, inside and out! Penne is also delicious in baked casserole dishes, known as “pasta al forno."It has a low Glycemic index, keeping you fuller, longer, and it is made with Non-GMO Ingredients.Yes, I am born and raised in Italy and strongly recommend this pasta!

Cheap, substantial yet healthy part of a daily diet routine. This 8 pack is definitely a good buy which is why I have had it as a staple main part of my monthly subscribe & save shopping list for months now. Unlike most pasta it is actually a "set and forget" thing. I pour out half a box into my pot along with around 2 cups of water, set the stove top for high and the stove timer for 25 minutes. When the timer rings all I have to do is gently stir it once just to make sure to unstick any penne pieces stuck to the pot which is rare but easily fixed, then drain the remaining water out in a colander and serve.No stirring during cooking or oversight necessary since these penne pieces cook so well. It is nice to be able to find something I can cook without having to stay chained to the stove.Note: Actual cooking time may vary depending on your own stove, so make sure to stay at the stove for your first attempts to avoid the mistake I made during one of my early timers where the pasta ended up burning after the last of the water boil evaporated faster than I expected.

This is my go-to pasta to make for large parties, especially when it is combined with the sauce. It does not dry out or crumble up. It’s worth a few extra dollars to purchase this brand.

I love buying pantry items in bulk, I find it’s better value and it one less thing to worry about
