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 From the family Lucido’s Pasta is built on family recipes and a deep connection to the local market scene, with roots across DFW farmer’s markets, including Denton and Flower Mound. Each product reflects that balance of tradition and practicality: honoring where it comes from while making it accessible for everyday cooking.
