MICHELE PORTOGHESE RIGATONI #713

The Rigatoni are part of the short pasta family with a straight edge cut and ridged exterior. They are a versatile noodle and well suited to a variety of sauces with tomato or vegetable, however, they are most appropriate for meat sauces. They are best when the sauce is sufficiently liquid to be caught by the ridges and gather on the inside of the noodle.
