Spirals with a substantial sauce
De Cecco recommends meat ragù for tortiglioni, along with tomato or vegetable-and-tomato sauces. It also points to baked pasta dishes. Try a meat ragù when you want a substantial accompaniment, or take the producer’s baking suggestion when the oven is part of your plan.
