Tortiglioni

Type of pasta

Media: Tortiglioni

Tortiglioni are a type of pasta similar to rigatoni, but larger and with deeper grooves which spiral around the pasta.^[2]

They take their name from the Latin word torquere, meaning 'to twist'.^[2] A tortiglione is a characteristic design from the lathe used in pasta manufacturing, with vertical ridges.^[3]
