Rigatoni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rigatoni is a form of tube-shaped pasta of varying lengths and diameters.[1] It is larger than penne and ziti and sometimes slightly curved.[2] Rigatoni is usually ridged, and the tube's end is square-cut like ziti, not diagonal like penne.[3][4]
The word rigatoni comes from the Italian word rigati, which means "ridged" or 'lined' and is associated with the cuisine of southern and central Italy.[5][6]
