About GLUTEN FREE CORN PASTA, PENNE
Meijer Gluten Free Corn Pasta in Penne shape is a tube-cut gluten-free pasta sold under the Meijer private label, using the same minimal two-ingredient corn flour and water formulation as the full corn pasta range. Penne is a classic short-cut pasta with hollow tubes and diagonal-cut ends, and is among the most widely used pasta shapes in American and Italian-American cooking.
The product is free from all major allergens including wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame, making it accessible to a broad range of consumers with dietary restrictions. Corn flour penne has a natural golden hue and mild sweetness that pairs well with bold tomato-based sauces as well as lighter olive oil and vegetable preparations. The clean, two-ingredient label appeals to consumers seeking minimally processed foods without added emulsifiers or stabilizers.
Nutritionally, a 55-gram dry serving provides approximately 190 calories, less than 1 gram of fat, 44 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of protein. Per 100 grams, calorie density is 345 and carbohydrates are 80 grams. As with other shapes in this line, fiber content is negligible at standard serving sizes per USDA records.
Penne is versatile across sauce types — its hollow interior captures chunky meat sauces, while the smooth exterior works well in creamy baked preparations. Corn penne should be tested for doneness a minute or two before the package's indicated time, as overcooking leads to a mushy texture more quickly than wheat pasta. This product is a reliable everyday gluten-free pasta option at Meijer's characteristically accessible private-label price point.
