Pasta shapes inspired by small garden or field creatures are a charming tradition in Italian cuisine.
Some trace the origin of Lumache (meaning “snails”) back to ancient Roman gastronomy, while others associate it more broadly with central and northern Italy.
A deliciously larger variation of the classic Pipe pasta, Lumache Rigate are a playful, versatile shape. Thanks to their double opening and distinctive ridges, they hold onto even the most delicate or runny sauces—capturing every drop of flavor.
