how are pastas named?
The naming of pasta's a difficult matter, it isn't just one of your holiday games. You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter when I tell you a pasta has three different names.
Yeah I'm not T.S. Eliot, instead please accept this picture I took of some noodles that sound like the sequel to Mambo No. 5:

Spicy Italian Sausage Rigatoni with Tomato Basil Sauce 🌶️🍅🌿
This flavorful dish combines spicy Italian sausage with a rich tomato basil sauce, all tossed with perfectly cooked rigatoni pasta. Get ready for a taste explosion!
Ingredients:
1 pound rigatoni pasta 🍝
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed 🌶️
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, diced 🧅
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes 🥫
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil 🌿
1 teaspoon dried oregano 🌿
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste) 🌶️
Salt and black pepper to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving 🧀
Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package directions for al dente pasta. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the sausage: While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the aromatics: In the same skillet, add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Make the sauce: Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Combine everything: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the cooked rigatoni and toss to coat in the sauce.
Serve: Divide the pasta among plates and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired.
Tips:
For a creamier sauce, stir in a 1/2 cup of heavy cream after adding the crushed tomatoes.
If you don't have fresh basil, substitute with 1 tablespoon of dried basil.
Add a pinch of sugar to the sauce to balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce! 🥖

I kinda love that Rayman has had TWO big showman-type characters with mustaches as villains, because these two are exact opposites in terms of how fancy their entertainment venue happens to be.
You've got a dirty circus ringleader in a dirty circus tent who feeds his dirty circus animals bread and water while he holds them captive and you've got a hammy TV host who, rundown TV channel aside, IS running multiple shows and seems to have it in his budget for CGI, paid actors, multiple sets, and live bands. And Phantom's actors are performing their parts 100% willingly and like him and his charisma, while Rigatoni's workforce is slave labor and regularly insult him to his face.
In conclusion, The Phantom should fight Rigatoni because he would destroy him.
