Baked ziti

Ziti or zite ( Italian: [ˈdziːte]) is a shape of extruded pasta originating from the Italian regions of Campania and Sicily. It is shaped into long, wide tubes, about 25 cm (9.8 inches) long, that generally need to be broken by hand into smaller pieces before cooking. Ziti has similarities to bucatini but is much thicker. Ziti is the plural form of zita and zitu, respectively meaning 'bride' and 'groom' in Sicilian. For this reason, ziti may also be rendered as zite in Italian (with the regular plural form for feminine nouns in -a). Ziti strands are made of long and wide tubes, each around 25 cm (9.8 inches). Ziti has similarities to bucatini, rigatoni and penne. Ziti is created from durum wheat flour and water.
