Rigatoni with pajata is a typical dish of Roman cuisine. Pajata consists of the undeveloped intestines of veal, which are deliciously prepared together with rigatoni pasta. The dish is seasoned with pancetta, onion, celery, parsley, and garlic, and is slowly cooked in tomato sauce, dry white wine, cloves, and wine vinegar to achieve a rich and intense flavor. It is served with plenty of grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. A tasty and succulent dish, perfect for a special occasion or a traditional Roman lunch.
