Short cut pasta can make a whole host of fantastic recipes quick and easy. The flexibility of these cuts can lend themselves to being used as ingredients, side dishes or becoming the star of a meal unto themselves.
Rigatoni is a very popular type of pasta in the south of Italy. Rigatoni are large, ridged and sometimes slightly curved tubes of pasta with square ends (unlike diagonally cut Penne). A great small pasta for catching sauce, Rigatoni are often served with tomato and meat sauces. Roman Rigatoni are ideal when full or heavy sauces are on the menu.
