About Rigatoni pasta: Rigatoni is a tube-shaped pasta with distinctive characteristics:

  • Larger than penne and ziti
  • Slightly curved shape
  • Ridged exterior for better sauce adhesion
  • Square-cut ends

This pasta shape is particularly popular in southern Italy, especially Sicily, due to its excellent sauce-holding capacity.

The Gragnano Advantage: Gragnano, nestled between Monti Lattari and the Amalfi Coast, offers ideal conditions for pasta production:

  • Cool mountain air
  • Perfect balance of sun, humidity, and wind
  • Optimal environment for superior wheat cultivation

These factors contribute to Gragnano's reputation for producing the world's finest pasta, including our Rigatoni di Gragnano IGP.

Cooking Instructions:
