Tri-Color Penne (Dried, 1lb)

From Lucido’s Pasta, a family-run operation with roots right here in Flower Mound, this tri-color penne is built on generations of Italian recipes. Crafted with intention, using traditional methods and quality ingredients to create a pasta that’s structured, versatile, and full of flavor.

What makes it different

It’s made with a focus on texture and flavor first, using a slower, more intentional process than mass-produced boxed brands. The result is a noodle that holds its shape, cooks evenly, and actually grips sauce, especially in those ridges and hollow centers that penne is known for.

The tri-color blend isn’t just for looks. It adds a light variation in flavor that makes the whole dish feel a bit more dynamic without overcomplicating it.

How it cooks

Serves 2-4. 

Boil until al dente, tender with a slight bite. That texture is key. The tubular shape means it stays satisfying and substantial, even when paired with heavier sauces.

Reserve a bit of pasta water before draining. It’s the easiest way to bring your sauce together and get that glossy, restaurant-style finish.

How we love to use it

• Tossed with olive oil, garlic, and roasted vegetables for something simple and colorful
• Paired with a hearty tomato or cream sauce that fills each piece
• Used in pasta salads where it holds up beautifully over time
• Finished with parmesan and fresh herbs for an easy, balanced bowl
