What is Penne Pasta?

Penne pasta is a type of pasta with a tube shape of about 45mm in length and 12mm in width. The ends are cut on a slant and the pasta has tiny vertical ridges. Penne is cream colored and hard when uncooked. Once boiled it is soft and chewable, while holding its form. The flavor is mild and nutty and pairs best with a sauce such as marinara, but can be used in many savory dishes.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others.

Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.
