Rigatoni
Rigatoni is a form of
tube-shaped
pasta. It is larger than
penne and
ziti. Rigatoni is usually ridged and the tube's end does not terminate at an angle, like
penne's does.Rigatoni can be coupled with many different sauces, from creamy to chunky. Consequently, rigatoni is a popular choice for restaurants which choose to stock only one tube-shaped pasta noodle. The tube may be stuffed with cheese or other soft foods.The word rigatoni comes from the Italian
past participle of rigare, which means "to draw a line" (American Heritage Dictionary).
