De Cecco Mezzi Rigatoni is in the shape of a ridged tube belonging to the straight cut dried pasta family.

De Cecco Mezzi Rigatoni is a specialty of the Campania region in Southern Italy.

Mezzi Rigatoni by De Cecco is a rather versatile shape being suitable with tomato or vegetable sauces, but the rigatoni are at their best matched with chunky meat sauces and ragus: stew sauces, meat and mushrooms, veal and pork, sausages and giblets ragus.

All these thick sauces however should be liquid enough to allow the sauce to cling to the Rigatoni's ridges and its hole.
