Rigatoni or “scorzasellari” meaning “celery ribs”, slightly wider than penne with its hard ridges and coarse texture was an advancement in early dried pasta production allowing for sauces and cheeses to cling better than on traditional smooth pasta surfaces.
Commonly used weekly for the Sunday meal in Sicilian culture and the cuisine of southern and central Italy, rigatoni is a perfect match for everything from sautéed vegetables to hearty meat sauces and casseroles.

In 2012, Sfoglini (Sfo-lee-nee) opened its doors with one clear mission, bring classic Italian style pasta back to New York. We’re dedicated to sourcing top quality North American organic grains and unique ingredients from local farms and green markets to bring you the same pasta served at some of New York’s most revered restaurants. Traditional bronze dies/plates produce a beautiful rough texture that gives your sauce something to cling to, and we slow-dry our pastas at low temperature to preserve flavor and nutrients.
