The story

About the dish

Rigatoni al Sugo di Guancia di Manzo e Cantarelli draws its character from red wine, carrots, celery, and onions. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. The profile moves from fruit-toned acidity and aromatic lift in red wine, through gentle natural sweetness in carrots, to a clear, distinctive flavor of its own in celery.

It shows how Italian pasta names work as compact culinary directions, signaling shape, place, filling or the sauce a pasta is meant to carry.
