Rigatoni have a relatively recent history compared to other types of pasta. In fact, their origin dates back to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, when the first modern pasta factories began to spread in Italy. In particular, it was the introduction of ridges on industrial dies that allowed the birth of this pasta shape. This characteristic allows it to better retain sauces and condiments, enhancing the combination of pasta and condiment. Their particular shape makes them suitable for rich and full-bodied sauces.
