Mezzi Rigatoni by Barilla, shorter than normal Rigatoni.

Rigatoni is a form of tube-shaped pasta. It is larger than penne and ziti. Rigatoni is usually ridged and the tube's end does not terminate at an angle, like penne.

The word rigatoni comes from the Italian word rigati, which means "ridged" (American Heritage Dictionary).
