Penne is a type of pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces. Penne is the plural form of the italian penna, deriving from latin penna and is a cognate of the english word pen. Penne is traditionally cooked al dente and its shape makes it particularly adapted for sauces, such as pesto, marinara, or arrabbiata. Pesto sometimes spelled as pasto or to refer to the original dish pesto alla genovese, is a sauce originating in genoa, the capital city of liguria, italy. It traditionally consists of crushed garlic, european pine nuts, coarse salt, basil leaves or beetroot, parmigiano-reggiano (parmesan cheese) and pecorino sardo (cheese made from sheep's milk), all blended with olive oil. Generally pesto is green but today i have made red pesto. It is unique recipe. Every easy to make as well as time saving. It is tasty, creamy and yummy as well.
