Rigatoni
Rigatoni are big tubes of pasta that are ridged on the outside, and smooth inside.
The ridges help the pasta get a grip on the chunky sauces, and the large insides allow a good amount of sauce
to penetrate inside the tubes.
Being so big, Rigatoni are good in baked dishes or with chunky sauces, which typically are tomato based, and
have meat and / or vegetables in them. Typical vegetables might include mushrooms or broccoli. Typical meats
used might include veal, pork, sausage, fowl, etc.

Spaghetti
Spaghetti is a long, thin, solid, cylindrical pasta.

Like other pasta, spaghetti is made of milled wheat
and water and sometimes enriched with vitamins and minerals.
Authentic Italian spaghetti is made from durum wheat semolina,
but elsewhere it may be made with other kinds of flour.
Typically the pasta is white because refined flour is used,
but whole wheat flour may be added.

Fettuccine
Fettuccine refers to a type of pasta is shaped like long,
flat ribbons. Indeed, the word “fettuccine” means “small
ribbons” in Italian. It is a flat and thick pasta that can
be either fresh or dried.
Fettuccine is about twice as wide a linguine, which is
usually about 1/8 inch wide.
Because it is a thicker pasta, fettuccine is generally
served with heavier, meat-based sauces. Fettuccine pasta
works best with sauces that are less chunky, as larger pieces
of meat or vegetables end up separated from the strands of
pasta rather than enjoyed with each bite. Creamy sauces and
tomato sauces work well with fettuccine.
