Rigatoni
Rigatoni are tubular pasta of various lengths and diameters from Italy. They are larger than penne , and sometimes slightly curved, but not as strong as macaroni . Rigatoni have longitudinal grooves, sometimes in a spiral shape, and, unlike penne, are not cut at an angle, but at right angles to the direction of the tube.
The word rigatoni comes from the Italian word rigato , which means striped . Rigatoni is the preferred form of pasta in southern Italy and Sicily . The eponymous grooves ensure that the sauce and grated cheese stick better than to smooth noodles.
