I've made something similar to this using Orzo pasta. It's delish! Sounds great with the penne too. I like to use the Barilla Plus pastas, have you tried them?
I have tried them and they hold up well to thick sauces. I have an orzo recipe on here too if you'd like to try it. It's one of the first ones. Thanks for stopping by!
