Ziti

Special shape among the most popular in Campania thanks to its ancient tradition. Their name derives from the past custom of women without husbands – the “zite” in fact – of staying at home to break pasta for Sunday sauces instead of going to mass with their families. The Ziti are perfect with intense sauces, such as the Genovese recipe, a typical neapolitan sunday dish, which involves the long cooking of meat and plenty of onion, able to create an excellent balance with the gustatory intensity of this extraordinary pasta shape.
