Review: Solid everyday rigatoni with minor flaws - I bought this rigatoni pasta for weekly family dinners and overall I am satisfied. The pasta has a sturdy shape that holds sauce well and cooks evenly without falling apart. I liked the slightly rough texture and the clean wheat flavor. Portion size feels generous and the price is reasonable. On the downside, cooking time on the package was inaccurate for me and the pasta turned soft quickly. A few pieces were broken in the bag, which was disappointing. It is not exceptional or artisanal, but it is reliable for everyday meals. I would buy it again despite minor issues. Review: Great value - Definitely an elevated experience compared to many other similarly priced option. Very uniform product and pleasant eating experience. I will be a repeat customer ## Features - Bring home the famous taste of Rao's with this 16 ounce pack of Rao's Homemade Rigatoni Pasta - IMPORTED FROM ITALY: Our Rao's Homemade pastas are imported from Italy so you can have delicious Italian pasta right at your table. - HOUSE-MILLED: We house-mill our semolina flour in the traditional way to ensure the perfect flavor and texture. - DRIED SLOW & LOW: Our slow and low drying process maximizes the al dente texture and flavor. - ITALIAN TRADITIONS: Our dried pastas use traditional bronze die cuts creating the perfect grooves to hold sauce.
