PENNE

What penne means

A tube-shaped pasta cut diagonally at both ends, typically served with sauce in Italian cuisine.

Where the word comes from

Penne comes from Italian, where it is the plural of "penna," meaning feather or quill. The pasta gets its name from its shape—the tubes are cut diagonally at both ends to resemble the pointed nib of a quill pen. "Penna" itself descends from Latin "penna," which originally referred to a feather or wing, likely from an Indo-European root meaning to stretch or spread.
