Rigatoni Alla Gricia Made with carefully sourced ingredients, Barilla Collezione is crafted using traditional Italian bronze plates for an "al dente" texture that perfectly holds sauces and elevates your pasta dishes. Rigatoni, inspired by "riga" (ridge) is a wide, tube-like shape of pasta from the Lazio region of Italy. With namesake ridges perfect for capturing every drop of sauce, Rigatoni is traditionally served with chunky meat or vegetable sauces.
