The story

About the dish

At the heart of Rigatoni alla Vaccinara are red wine, carrots, celery, and onions. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. Taste it for fruit-toned acidity and aromatic lift from red wine, gentle natural sweetness from carrots, and a clear, distinctive flavor of its own from celery.

It continues an Italian habit of telling diners about a pasta before it arrives, putting the format or defining flavor directly in the name.
