Paccheri Rigati is shorter than Rigatoni, but with that same lovable tube shape. These short, wide, ridged pasta tubes are named for the Neapolitan slang “slap” or “smack,” referring to the sound made when the sauce hits the pot full of hot pasta. Paccheri Rigati are great at capturing bites of ingredients and heartier sauces. They shine when paired with Italian sausage, meaty pasta sauces, and chunky tomato sauces. - Artisan pasta made in Naples, Italy. - Exclusive blend of superior durum wheat with a high gluten content. - Extruded with bronze dies to create a rougher surface to better absorb and capture sauces. - Short, wide tube pasta shape with ridges. - Slowly dried using a static cell drying method that allows wheat to maintain its best flavor, color and texture. - Cooks up al dente: a tender but firm bite with a fleck of white at its center—what we call the pasta’s soul. - Made in a facility free of eggs, peanuts and tree nuts. Vegan.
