How to make a cylinder / pipe with slanted ends (like pasta penne)?

Question

I am trying to recreate a penne pasta. I am creating a cylinder removing the two end faces and then I solidify the mesh.

However I do not know how to extrude (or cut away) the two ends to make them pointy like in the picture of the penne below. I have tried to use bisect and mirror, but without successful results.

Any idea?

Heh, I saw the title in the Hot Network Question and thought I'd end up on the [cooking.se] site ... — Glorfindel, Apr 25 '20 at 09:14
@Glorfindel same here haha, and I was honestly hoping to find out how it's done. — Jacob Garby, Apr 25 '20 at 13:41

In edit mode select all the vertices and use the shear tool (shift+control+alt+S)

When you add the solidify modifier it creates a lip that extends outside of the cylinder in the length, how to prevent that? – Luciano Apr 24 '20 at 15:17

@Luciano Since Blender 2.82 it's no longer a problem: https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/167603/ – jachym michal Apr 24 '20 at 15:53

Lets make this using only one vertex and a bunch of modifiers. Recommended version : 2.83.

Displace the vertex, add a screw modifier to get a circle, add another screw modifier to get a cylinder.

Add a bend deform modifier to shear the cylinder, an empty object with an array to mirror along Z and X, and a solidify for the thickness.

Tweak it !

Thanks to Jachym Michal for pointing out the complex method in the solidify modifier.
