1: What does the Rigatoni + Sauce bundle taste like?
It’s classic Italian comfort with bold, sauce-forward satisfaction. Pastificio dei Campi Rigatoni tastes clean, wheat-forward, and aromatic with a firm, resilient al dente bite. Paired with Pastificio Mandala Marinara, you get bright tomato sweetness, savory garlic and onion, olive oil richness, and classic herbs like basil and oregano. The ridged tubes capture marinara inside and out, delivering a full-flavor forkful that tastes hearty, authentic, and restaurant-quality.

2: Is this authentic and made in Italy?
Yes. The rigatoni is authentic Pasta di Gragnano IGP made in Gragnano, Italy using traditional standards (durum wheat semolina, local aquifer water, bronze-die extrusion, and slow drying). The marinara sauce is made and packaged in Sicily, Italy using Italian tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, onion, and classic herbs for a true Italian-crafted finish.

3: How should I use this bundle?
Boil rigatoni to al dente, warm the marinara gently, and toss together until the sauce coats every tube. Finish with grated Parmesan or Pecorino, fresh basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Rigatoni is also ideal for baked pasta: combine with marinara, add mozzarella and cheese, bake until bubbly, and serve for a crowd-pleasing Italian dinner.

4: Why does rigatoni hold marinara so well?
Rigatoni is built for thick sauces. The ridged exterior helps marinara cling to the surface, while the wide tube shape captures sauce inside for a more flavorful bite. Bronze-die extrusion adds extra texture, and slow drying supports a firm structure that stays resilient even in hearty sauces and baked dishes.

5: Is this a good gift for food lovers?
Absolutely. This is a chef-loved, Italy-made pairing that feels premium and thoughtful. It’s perfect for host gifts, housewarmings, foodie baskets, and anyone who wants an easy but impressive Italian meal. Add finishing cheese and olive oil for a complete elevated Italian pantry gift.
