rigatoni

As the name itself suggests, rigatoni is a short pasta on which streaks are engraved along the entire length: this characteristic differentiates them from macaroni and, at the same time, makes them more appetizing in the preparation of first courses in which important sauces are present . Rigatoni are not only appreciated for preparing traditional pasta dishes, but are also sought after for preparing some regional variations of baked pasta, especially in those recipes in which short pasta shapes are usually preferred. According to some historians, the origin of rigatoni is found particularly in the Campania region.
