Paccheri are a typical pasta from the Campania region. The name comes from "paccarià" which in Neapolitan dialect means "slap". Probably in popular tradition it was a reference to the large, heavy consistency. This pasta is popular in other regions as well, albeit with different names.
It is recommended for preparing pasta dishes served with dense, hearty meat ragùs such as Neapolitan ragù which works its way inside the pasta and fills it with flavour.
Alternatively, it can be enjoyed in oven-baked dishes with cheese and tomato sauce or rich fish sauces.

Sedanini are a smaller variation of the classic Sedani Rigati and are excellent for preparing vegetable soups and broths, but they can also be enjoyed with light tomato based sauces. Vegetable sauces made from tomatoes and pulses are also recommended.
