Sanniti Gluten Free Rigatoni Pasta di Gragnano, 17.6 oz — Bronze-Drawn Corn & Rice Blend for Sauce-Holding Texture

Sanniti Artisanal Gluten Free Rigatoni is a bronze-drawn, pasta di Gragnano-style rigatoni made in Italy from corn and rice flours for a firm, authentic texture without gluten.

Crafted in partnership with traditional Gragnano pasta makers, this 17.6 oz package delivers gluten-free rigatoni that aims to replicate the bite and sauce-holding qualities of classic bronze-drawn pasta. The recipe combines 60% white corn flour, 20% yellow corn flour and 20% rice flour. Made in Italy and finished on bronze dies, these tubes are designed to capture sauces while remaining sturdy in baked dishes and stovetop preparations.

How does Sanniti Rigatoni perform with thick sauces or in baked dishes?

Because the pasta is bronze-drawn, the surface is slightly rougher than machine-polished pasta, which helps chunky and creamy sauces cling to each rigatoni tube. That texture also helps the tubes hold up well in casseroles and oven-baked recipes without turning mushy.

• Bronze-drawn finish increases sauce adhesion.
• Tube shape traps ragù, cheese, and vegetable pieces.
• Corn and rice blend preserves structure during baking.

What ingredients are used and are there any allergy considerations?

The formula uses white corn flour (60%), yellow corn flour (20%), and rice flour (20%), producing a gluten-free product suitable for many diets. The packaging notes it may contain soy, so anyone with soy allergies should check the label before consuming.

• Main flours: white corn, yellow corn, rice.
• Gluten-free formulation, produced in Italy.
• May contain soy — read packaging if allergic.

How should I cook these rigatoni for the best texture?

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil and add the rigatoni, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Follow the package timing as a baseline but taste-test near the end of the recommended cook time to reach al dente firmness; drain and dress with sauce immediately to preserve bite.

• Use ample salted water for even cooking.
• Stir occasionally to avoid clumping or breaking tubes.
• Taste toward the end of cook time for preferred doneness.

What makes this pasta authentically "di Gragnano" in style?

Di Gragnano refers to a long Italian tradition of bronze-extruded pasta known for its rough surface and ability to pair well with robust sauces. Sanniti worked with classic Gragnano pasta makers to apply these artisanal techniques to a gluten-free formula, mirroring the sensory and cooking qualities typical of the region’s pasta.

• Bronze dies produce a classic rough texture.
• Italian production follows regional pasta-making methods.
• Designed to mimic traditional rigatoni characteristics.
