Rigatoni Pasta IGP 500g

Garofalo Rigatoni is a short, wide, ridged tubular pasta made from 100% durum wheat semolina, produced in Gragnano, Italy under IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) certification. Originating in Rome and now a staple across the Italian peninsula, rigatoni takes its name from "rigare" — to ridge — a reference to the grooves that run along each tube and define how the shape performs in the bowl. Consistent dimensions and a generous wall thickness give Garofalo Rigatoni a substantial, satisfying character that holds its structure from pot to plate.

Bronze-die cut with the resistance to match. Extruded through traditional bronze dies, each piece carries a naturally rough, porous surface that allows sauces to adhere deeply into every ridge and fill the hollow tube. The thickness of the pasta wall and the quality of the durum wheat combine to deliver excellent al dente resistance throughout a 13-minute cook — a shape that holds its integrity under pressure, making it well suited to the demands of professional kitchen service. For baked preparations, that same resistance ensures the pasta maintains texture even after time in the oven.

A Roman classic built for high-volume kitchens. Rigatoni is one of the most versatile short pasta formats — equally at home in a slow-cooked Sunday ragù, a bold Roman amatriciana, or a baked pasta dish for catering. Supplied by Sapori in a 16 x 500g case, Garofalo Rigatoni suits restaurants, catering operations, and wholesale accounts across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for a dependable, Halal and Kosher certified Italian pasta with genuine Gragnano provenance.
