Mezzi Rigatoni combines the heartiness of traditional Rigatoni – a cut that is most commonly used in Southern and Central Italy – with a smaller size, which makes for a charming variation of an old favorite. It’s sure to delight your family and friends. The large diameter and ridges of Mezzi Rigatoni make it ideal for retaining sauces on the entire surface, inside and out! Try Mezzi Rigatoni with chunkier meat or vegetable-based sauces, refined dairy-based sauces, like a mushroom cream sauce, tomato sauces, or spicy sauces. Mezzi Rigatoni is also delicious in baked casserole dishes, known as “pasta al forno.”
