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'. A tortiglione is a characteristic design from the lathe used in pasta manufacturing, with vertical ridges.[3]
