Serving Suggestions

Note

• Penne pasta is shaped like small tubes, approximately 3 – 4cm long on average.
• Penne is the least messy alternative out of the pasta range, which is why we love it. No long spaghetti noodles swishing mess all over the house!
• Kids love plain penne pasta as a snack so it makes a fabulous first finger food for littlies.
• To create individual tuna pasta bakes: Use a microwave-safe single-serve bowl and add your favourite pasta sauce, tuna and a handful of quickly-steamed frozen veggies to the cooked pasta, then cover with grated cheese. Give it a quick zap in the microwave to melt the cheese through the pasta and voila! Melty, yummy pasta bake in minutes.
