Description

A 500g pack of rigatoni pasta contains tube-shaped durum wheat semolina pasta known for its large size and distinctive exterior ridges. The name “rigatoni” comes from the Italian word rigato, meaning “ridged” or “lined”. 

Key Features
Shape and Texture: Rigatoni are wide, hollow tubes that are cut straight at the ends (not diagonally like penne). The ridges and large opening help capture and hold both thick, hearty sauces and lighter, creamier ones, ensuring flavor in every bite.
Ingredients: It is typically made from just two simple ingredients: 100% high-quality durum wheat semolina and water.
Versatility: This pasta shape is very versatile and a popular choice for a variety of dishes, including baked casseroles (like pasta al forno) and robust sauces such as Bolognese or a spicy Arrabbiata.
Authentic Italian Origin: Rigatoni is a traditional pasta shape associated with the cuisine of central and southern Italy, particularly Rome.
Nutritional aspects: Most varieties are a good source of energy, high in protein and fiber, and naturally low in fat.
Serving Size: A 500g package typically provides approximately 6 servings.
