About Rigatoni Pasta
Rigatoni is a large, ridged, tube-shaped pasta that is wider than penne and ziti. Its name comes from the Italian word rigare, meaning “to groove,” which refers to the ridges along the surface. These ridges and the wide hollow center make rigatoni excellent at holding thick sauces, meat-based ragùs, and baked cheese dishes.
