Barilla tortiglioni in a 500 g box, a spiral-grooved tube pasta that cooks al dente in 12 minutes, for baked dishes and chunky sauces.
Barilla tortiglioni comes in a navy blue box headed Barilla Classic and Tortiglioni with its shape number at the top. The front shows three ridged tubes of pasta around the red oval Barilla logo marked dal 1877, with Al dente 12 min in red text below. A small Plastic Free mark sits in the bottom corner beside 500 g. Lifestyle photos show the box on a wooden counter beside a bowl of tortiglioni in tomato sauce with basil and grated cheese, and next to a baked dish of tortiglioni under a golden, bubbling cheese crust with basil leaves. As general background, tortiglioni are a type of pasta similar to rigatoni, but larger and with deeper grooves which spiral around the pasta. Commonly, the deep grooves and wide tubes hold thick sauces, so kitchens use the shape for baked pasta trays and slow-cooked tomato or vegetable sauces.
