Tip: Fresh, light sauces – like olive oil or simple fresh tomato – work best with smooth shapes (Mostaccioli, Ziti) since they do not have the benefit of ridges to hold more sauce. For more great tips on pairing pasta with sauce, click here >>
The Perfect Pair
About Ziti Pasta

The ever-popular Ziti, the tube-shaped pasta cut that is enjoyed the world over, gets its name from the word zita—which means a woman who is about to become a bride, or "little girl." In Campania and Sicily, baked ziti has long been served at wedding celebration banquets, and this delicious, romantic tradition continues today. Ziti is best paired with tomato-based sauces and is often used in baked dishes.
