The large diameter and ridges of Rigatoni make it ideal for retaining sauces on the entire surface, inside and out! Try Rigatoni with chunkier meat or vegetable-based sauces, refined dairy-based sauces, like a mushroom cream sauce, tomato sauces, or spicy sauces. Rigatoni is also delicious in baked casserole dishes, known as “pasta al forno.”
