How to Use
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil, add the rigatoni, and cook 10 to 13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente with a firm bite. Drain and toss immediately with your sauce. Rigatoni is built for bold, hearty sauces such as slow-cooked Bolognese or sausage ragù, and it holds its shape well in baked pasta al forno layered with cheese. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry.
About Pasta Toscana
Pasta Toscana is an artisan Italian pasta brand rooted in the agricultural traditions of Tuscany, Italy. Each shape is made from premium Tuscan Durum Wheat Semolina and shaped through traditional bronze dies, which leave a rough, porous surface that ordinary Teflon-extruded pasta does not have. The pasta is then slow-dried using traditional methods to preserve flavor and texture. Browse more Italian staples in our Pasta collection. Learn more at pastatoscana.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pasta Toscana Rigatoni contain allergens?
Yes. Pasta Toscana Rigatoni is made from durum wheat semolina, so it contains wheat and gluten. No separate facility allergen statement is listed on this product, so anyone with a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or other gluten sensitivity should read the printed ingredient panel on the bag before cooking, since packaging can change between production runs.
How should I store and cook Pasta Toscana Rigatoni?
Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight; dry pasta keeps well for up to two years at room temperature. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil, cook until al dente, then drain and toss with sauce right away. Once opened, reseal the bag or transfer to an airtight container.
What is the difference between Pasta Toscana Rigatoni and the Organic Rigatoni?
This rigatoni is made from conventional Tuscan Durum Wheat Semolina and bronze-die crafted, while the Organic Rigatoni is USDA Certified Organic and grown without synthetic pesticides. Both come in the same large ridged tube shape and 1 lb bag; the difference is the organic certification, not the shape or cook time.
Is Pasta Toscana Rigatoni imported from Italy?
Yes. This pasta is milled and shaped in Tuscany, Italy from Tuscan Durum Wheat Semolina, then imported for sale in the United States and Canada. Real Prime Deals ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so customers receive the same bronze-die Italian pasta sold in Tuscany.
