Rigatoni produced by Pastificio Lagano are a classic dried pasta shape characterized by wide, tubular pieces with ridged surfaces designed to hold sauce effectively. Made from 100% Italian durum wheat semolina and water, the pasta contains no additives, reflecting a straightforward ingredient philosophy.

The dough is extruded through bronze dies (trafilatura al bronzo), which create a rough, porous surface that enhances sauce adhesion. Drying takes place slowly at low temperatures, preserving the structural integrity of the gluten and maintaining the natural flavor of the grain.

When cooked, the rigatoni deliver a firm, elastic al dente texture with defined edges that help capture both smooth and chunky sauces. This format is particularly well suited to hearty meat ragù, vegetable-based sauces, or rich tomato preparations, as the hollow center retains flavor within each piece.

The structure also makes it appropriate for baked pasta dishes, where the shape maintains consistency after further cooking. Rigatoni by Pastificio Lagano reflect the brand’s focus on traditional processing methods and functional design in the plate.
