San Remo Penne Rigate No. 18

I’ve tried local brands in the market but I cannot simply find the perfect al dente pasta. Some pasta breaks apart when cooked or does not absorb the sauce properly but with San Remo, it is perfect! A little bit pricey compare to other brands but if you want to impress, this is my go-to brand.

Spaghetti is overhyped - probably because it is the only pasta shape associated to Filipino fastfood and fiestas. I first encountered the pasta shape Penne decades ago at Sbarro. It helped that I did not have to twirl or slurp it so there is less probability of having the sauce end-up on my face or blouse. I am happy that the regular groceries now carry more pasta shapes other than spaghetti or macaroni. The Penne is very mom-friendly since it is very easy to toss in sauce and the size is very convenient for young kids to spear with a fork. I love the pastas from the San Remo brand since they are beginner-friendly and does not easily get soggy when slightly overcooked. Just follow the directions at the back of the packet, and use your celphone as timer-assist.

Loyal to San Remo brand for pasta in general, as it's in the middle for price range and you get excellent quality for the price. I love Penne Rigate No. 18. It cooks fast, consistently, and it's hard to overcook. Stays al dente even if you cook a big batch for meal prepping and reheat portions. Definitely recommend this pasta as it's versatile - tastes great with any kind of sauce, hot or cold, great for pasta salads. Especially since penne is a great shape to hold sauces and it reheats great.

As a busy mom, gusto ko ng pasta na quick lutuin pero masarap pa rin. Ang San Remo Penne Rigate No. 18 laging perfect ang pagkakaluto, hindi dumikit, at swak sa kahit anong sauce. Easy dinner solution at favorite ng buong pamilya!

My wife loves Penne Pasta in Red Sauce and this is rhd brand that wealways buy because it is Al Dente. It is not too expensive compared to othe goirmet pasta brands.
