Penne is a type of pasta. Pieces have a cylindrical shape and, usually, their ends are cut diagonally. Penne is the plural form of the Italian penna, deriving from Latin penna (meaning "feather" or "quill").
In Italy, penne are produced in two variants: "penne lisce" (smooth) and "penne rigate" (furrowed), the latter having ridges on each noodle.
