Mezze Maniche Rigate (literally: 'half sleeves with ridges') is a fantastic, medium-length and hollow type of pasta that is hugely popular in the central and southern regions of Italy. This pasta excels due to its clever, double design: the large, hollow interior provides ample space to generously hold thick sauces and rich ingredients, while the deep ridges (rigate) ensure that the sauce is held like a magnet. It is therefore the ultimate and indispensable choice for iconic Roman classics such as Carbonara, Amatriciana and Gricia, but the shape is also excellent for hearty, artisanal casseroles.
With this Mezze Maniche Rigate, you bring home the pure, Italian gastronomy that Kelvini has exclusively selected for you. We only bring the very best from the absolute top segment to your kitchen, sourced from a small-scale producer that has been officially awarded in the Gambero Rosso – the prestigious Italian counterpart to the Michelin guide – within the top 100 of the best Italian pasta companies.
The base consists of 100% superior quality durum wheat, which is entirely cultivated under our own management in the sun-drenched fields of the hills of Campania (Km 0) and is kneaded with pure spring water. Because we swear by a purely natural cultivation process, the grain is guaranteed to be 100% free from pesticides and glyphosate. This results in an exceptionally high natural protein content and a deep, full grain flavour. Thanks to the authentic pressing by bronze moulds (bronze drawn) and an extremely patient, slow drying process at low temperature, the pasta retains its characteristic rough texture. This ensures maximum sauce absorption and an unparalleled al dente bite after a cooking time of 11 minutes.
