Penne is a straight tube pasta cut on an angle at each end, popular in baked pasta dishes, arrabbiata, and creamy sauces. One metric cup (250 ml) of dry penne weighs around 110 grams or 3.88 ounces. When a recipe gives penne in cups but you are scooping from a bag, converting by weight keeps the portion right.

Penne tubes are long and hollow, so they pile into a cup unevenly with large gaps. Weighing in grams sidesteps that guesswork and gives you the same portion every time.
