Severino Pasta Co. Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni
What it is
This is a type of fresh pasta where large rigatoni tubes are filled with a blend of cheeses. The pasta itself is made from durum wheat semolina and eggs, giving it a rich flavor and firm texture. The stuffing typically includes ricotta, parmesan, and sometimes mozzarella, creating a creamy and savory interior. It is designed to be a convenient and elegant meal starter or main course.
How people cook with it
These stuffed pasta shapes are perfect for quick weeknight dinners or for entertaining guests with minimal fuss.
- Baked with marinara sauce
- Tossed with a simple butter and sage sauce
- Served with a creamy Alfredo
- Finished with a sprinkle of fresh parsley
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the cheese-stuffed rigatoni, ensuring they do not stick together. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, as fresh pasta cooks quickly. The pasta is done when it floats to the surface and is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain carefully and toss with your favorite sauce or a drizzle of olive oil.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike dried stuffed pasta, this fresh version cooks much faster and has a more tender, yielding texture. The cheese filling is already incorporated, saving preparation time compared to stuffing pasta shells yourself. The rigatoni shape holds sauce well, both inside and out.
