Answer by  Margie (19)

Rigatoni is a tube-like, sturdy pasta or macaroni product, often made from semolina and durum flours. Rigatoni is frequently used in baked pasta dishes. A pasta quite similar in appearance to rigatoni is ziti.

Rigatoni pasta is a wide pasta, kind of like penne but larger and more ridged. The ends of penne pasta are cut at an angle, while rigatoni is generally cut straight. As far as other pasta that looks like it, it's comparable to both ziti and penne. Rigatoni is good for stuffing cheese or other ingredients inside the pasta.
