pasta recipes. And then there are
penne pasta recipes. As anyone who is fond of them knows, penne pasta (unlike its delicate cousin,

Italian sausage,
chicken and all kinds of
baked pasta casseroles. Penne pasta makes for heartier
pasta salads, more exciting
one-pot dishes, and did we mention it’s BFFs with every cheese under the sun? That makes it a great choice for
cheesy recipes of all kinds. Learn more about
pasta types—and while you’re at it, take a look at penne’s long, skinny cousin in these tasty
baked spaghetti recipes.
