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.

"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.
