Etymology

The term 'rigatoni' originates from Italy, where pasta-making is an age-old tradition. The word itself is derived from the Italian verb 'rigare,' which means 'to stripe,' referring to the pasta's distinctive ridges. Rigatoni is believed to have been introduced in the region of Lazio, particularly around Rome, where pasta was consumed frequently. Its shape is designed to hold onto sauces, making it a favored choice for various Italian recipes. Rigatoni can be traced back to the early 20th century, where it gained popularity both in Italy and abroad. As Italian cuisine spread globally, rigatoni became a staple in many Italian restaurants in different countries, adapting to local tastes and styles.
