Penne (Italian: [?pen?e]) is an extruded type of pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces, their ends cut at an angle. Penne is the plural form of the Italian penna (meaning feather but pen as well), deriving from Latin penna (meaning "feather" or "quill"), and is a cognate of the English word pen. When this format was created, it was intended to imitate the then-ubiquitous fountain pen's steel nibs.Penne is one of the few pasta shapes with a certain date of birth: in 1865, Giovanni Battista Capurro, a pasta maker from San Martino d'Albaro (Genoa), obtained a patent for a diagonal cutting machine. His invention cut the fresh pasta into a pen shape without crushing it, in a size varying between 3 cm (1 in) mezze penne (half pens) and 5 cm (2 in) penne (pens). Other names used to indicate the “Smooth penne” pasta shape: Mostaccioli. Mezze penne. Pennette. Pennine. Mezzani.  

Arcobaleno is an U.S. reseller that rebrands pasta machines made by other companies;

for example the ravioli machine Arcobaleno ARS160 is nothing else than the ravioli machine Capitani RS160. In the same way, the Arcobaleno extruder AEX90M is just the Sandoré MX60 extruder, and so on. Send an email to info@ostoni.com with the photo of your pasta machine; we'll tell you immediately who is the real manufacturer of the pasta machine you own !
