Rigatoni
Rigatoni (, ) is a type of pasta. They are larger than penne and ziti, and sometimes slightly curved, but not as curved as elbow macaroni. Rigatoni are characterized by ridges along their length, sometimes spiraling around the tube; unlike penne, the ends of rigatoni are cut perpendicular to the tube walls instead of diagonally. The word ' comes from the Italian word ''rigato'' (that stands for 'lined', 'striped', 'ruled', ''rigatone'' being the augmentative, and ''rigatoni'' the plural form), which means ' ridged' or 'lined', and is associated with the cuisine of southern and central Italy. ''Rigatoncini'' are a smaller version, close to the size of penne. Their name takes on the diminutive suffix ' (pluralized ''-ini''), denoting their relative size.

Rigatoni Con La Pajata
''Pagliata'' (or, in Romanesco dialect, ''pajata'') is a traditional Roman dish primarily using the intestine of a young calf (tripe). As it has only eaten milk, the resulting dish is similar to cheese in a sausage casing. It is usually plaited for serving. Characteristic It is of traditional use in Roman cuisine. ''Pajata'' is the term for the small intestine and its contents of an unweaned calf, i.e., fed only on its mother's milk. The intestines are cleaned and skinned, but the chyme is left inside. The intestine is cut into pieces 20–25 cm long, which are bound together with white thread, forming rings. When cooked, the combination of heat and the enzyme rennet in the intestines coagulates the chyme and creates a sort of thick, creamy, cheese-like sauce. These rings can be served simply seasoned and grilled (''pajata arrosto'') or in the traditional Roman dish in which ''pajata'' is stewed in a typical tomato sauce and served with rigatoni.Boni, p. 150.

Diagonal
In geometry, a diagonal is a line segment joining two vertices of a polygon or polyhedron, when those vertices are not on the same edge. Informally, any sloping line is called diagonal. The word ''diagonal'' derives from the ancient Greek διαγώνιος ''diagonios'', "from corner to corner" (from διά- ''dia-'', "through", "across" and γωνία ''gonia'', "corner", related to ''gony'' "knee"); it was used by both Strabo and Euclid to refer to a line connecting two vertices of a rhombus or cuboid, and later adopted into Latin as ''diagonus'' ("slanting line"). Polygons As applied to a polygon, a diagonal is a line segment joining any two non-consecutive vertices. Therefore, a quadrilateral has two diagonals, joining opposite pairs of vertices. For any convex polygon, all the diagonals are inside the polygon, but for re-entrant polygons, some diagonals are outside of the polygon. Any ''n''-sided polygon (''n'' ≥ 3), convex or concave, has \tfrac ''total'' ...
