Rigatoni is a popular tube-shaped pasta with ridges—the perfect cut of pasta for scooping up chunky, heart sauces and meaty ragùs. Born in Rome, this iconic cut is named for its distinct ridges. Its size is larger than penne with a slight curve. Rigatoni is typically featured in Southern Italian cuisine with bold, spicy ingredients like Italian sausage, Calabrian peppers and Romano cheese.
DeLallo Organic Rigatoni Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with the very best quality certified-organic durum wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the past cooks, as well as its taste and texture. The durum wheat is milled into coarsely ground organic semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta’s color, texture and aroma.
