Did you know the popular pasta “Rigatoni” was named rigatoni because of its infamous ridges or lined texture? Yes, in fact, rigatoni is derived from the Italian word rigato, which directly translates to “ridged” or “lined.” Many Italians actually believe that ridges make a better surface for sauces and grated cheese, and are ideal for heartier meat sauces.
Want another fun fact about rigatoni? We thought so.
