Fresh egg pasta in a ridged rigatoni shape, made with 100% durum wheat semolina and free-range egg. It comes chilled rather than dried, so the tubes are soft and ready to cook quickly in boiling salted water. Compared with other own-label pasta shapes in Sainsbury's range, this one is built for holding onto thicker sauces, thanks to its deep grooves and wide centre. Usually sold for a short boil, then drained and served straight away. Ridges on the outside catch chunky ragu, creamy carbonara, or vegetable sauces in a way that smoother pasta shapes simply can't. Cooking time sits around two to three minutes, far quicker than dried rigatoni, and the texture stays softer and more tender with a slight chew from the egg in the dough.
