Tubetti Rigati (ridged tubes) are part of the very short, dry, straight cut, ridged pasta family and originate from southern Italy.
The shape is what gives this pasta its name because it resembles small tubes.
Tubetti Rigati are recommended for preparing soups with beans or lentils, or vegetable broths.
This pasta is also excellent for preparing very delicate pasta dishes with light tomato and basil sauces.

Paccheri Rigati 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.
