Here is the deal, or at least the best story I can come up with tonight.

I looked and looked for Rigatoni which is what I wanted, for the (I think heavier is the word I want to use) pasta texture, which I thought would satisfy my craving for a pasta dense dish. The trouble was I couldn't find any - anywhere, or at least at the Kroger stores I looked in.

Eventually (in the third Kroger) I found the brand I bought, which is a brand I had never purchased as a substitute with thick walls and what I figured would be a heavier pasta taste. Kept it in the cabinet for about a month and then used it today. My failure to find rigatoni zipped right my me.

The dish was excellent. I will definitely do it again. Maybe with rigatoni next time.

Funny thing is, I think we have a rigatoni fixture on the pasta attachment for our Kitchenaid mixer.
