Penne a Candela are a tasty variant of the classic Penne Lisce particularly popular in southern Italy.

They are characterized by a much greater thickness and diameter (those of the Candles from which they take their name) and, thanks to their size, they are able to hold the condiments in the best possible way.

The absence of scratches is offset by a surprising softness, which gives the palate sublime sensations. Delicate and refined, they enhance aromas, flavors and fragrances to the maximum.

The term Penne refers, in the Italian language, to the goose quill in ancient times used to write and which was cut on the bias to obtain a tip with a thin line. The format, obtained from a tube of pasta, smooth or striped, of variable length, has the characteristic diagonal cut typical of the writing pen.

Penne are one of the few pasta shapes with a certain date of birth: in 1865, in fact, a pasta maker from San Martino d'Albaro (Genoa), Giovanni Battista Capurro, asked for and obtained a patent for a diagonal cutting machine. The patent was important because it allowed fresh pasta to be cut in the shape of a pen without crushing it, in a variable format between 3 and 5 centimeters (half penne or penne). We read in the document preserved in the Central State Archives of Rome: "Up to now it was not possible to obtain the diagonal cut except with hand scissors, a method which, in addition to being too slow and expensive, had the drawback of producing a irregular cut and crush the pastes ".

Penne a Candela are particularly suitable for the preparation of baked pies but can also be used for excellent dry pasta seasoned with meat or vegetable sauces based on tomato sauce and with the addition of peppers, courgettes, aubergines, olives and capers.
