Since our beginnings in Parma, Italy, in 1877, four generations of the Barilla family have been passing down the secrets to producing great quality pasta that really does cook and taste better. Rigatoni, inspired by “riga” (ridges), is one of Italy’s most beloved shapes. The large diameter and ridges of Rigatoni make it ideal for holding sauces on the entire surface, inside and out! Try Rigatoni with chunkier meat or vegetable-based sauces, refined dairy-based sauces, like a mushroom cream sauce, tomato sauces, or spicy sauces. Rigatoni is also delicious in baked pasta dishes, known as 'pasta al forno'.  ? Barilla Rigatoni cook to al dente perfection in just 12 minutes.  View more
