Maccheroni Rigati Pasta by Leonessa

Everybody probably is much more familiar with “Macaroni” than " Maccheroni". The English word “macaroni” actually comes from the Italian “maccheroni” (pronounced more or less the same way). As often happens, the meaning has changed somewhat as the word migrated from the homeland to the new world. 

Maccheroni, in Italy, is the name for various types of durum wheat semolina pasta shaped like a long or short tube, with walls and central holes that can vary in thickness. 

Leonessa's Maccheroni Rigati is a longer format than rigatoni with ridged lines (rigati) are great to hold creamy sauces.
