RUSTICHELLA RIGATONI 500g

Handcrafted since 1924 by the Peduzzi family in Abruzzo, this rigatoni showcases traditional excellence:
Stone-ground durum wheat & spring water: Ensures robust wheat flavour and ideal texture.

Bronze-die extrusion & deep ridges: Creates a rough surface that clings sauces beautifully, much better than smooth Teflon-extruded pasta.

Slow drying (up to 70 hrs): Low-temperature air-drying preserves flavour, structure, and ensures reliable al dente hold.

Generous tube size: Thick walls and wide shape make it ideal for rich ragùs, cheese sauces, and oven-baked dishes.

High yield and resilience: Absorbs water slowly and retains texture even when reheated, offering great value.

Serving Suggestions Amatriciana / Gricia / Cacio e Pepe - Classic Roman dishes where rigatoni's ridges cradle guanciale, cheese, and pepper.

Meat ragù or Bolognese - Perfect for thick, slow-cooked sauces that cling to its grooves. Ideal also for baked pasta bakes with eggplant or mozzarella.

Vodka or pink sauce - Creamy tomato-based sauces latch onto the texture for rich comfort food.

Seafood & vegetables - Try with prawns, zucchini, garlic, capers, chili, or a Neapolitan-style tomato sauce.
