USDA Organic mezzi rigatoni from Bari, Puglia: short, wide, ridged tubes that fill with marinara, vodka sauce or ragu. Just organic durum wheat semolina and water, bronze-die cut and slow dried. Cooks in 12 minutes. A 17.6 oz bag serves 4 to 6.
Mezzi rigatoni are rigatoni cut to half length. You get the same wide, ridged tube and hearty chew, but in a shorter piece that is easy to eat and great in baked dishes. The bag front calls them mezzi rigati.
Our organic line comes from Bari, in Puglia. The bag lists just organic durum wheat semolina and water. Bronze dies give each piece a rough surface that holds sauce, and a slow, low-temperature drying of up to 36 hours keeps the bite firm.
Want the full-length tube? Try our organic rigatoni. For a Gragnano I.G.P. option with an even wider tube, there are our mezzi paccheri rigati.
The everyday Italian dinner, done well. Organic ridged tubes and a good marinara are all it takes.
