What it is

Ziti is a type of pasta, characterized by its tube shape with straight-cut ends. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water, formed into its signature shape, and then dried. Ziti is a staple in Italian-American cuisine.

Why it's used

Ziti is commonly used in baked pasta dishes, such as baked ziti, where it is layered with sauce and cheese. Its tubular shape holds sauce well, making it a versatile ingredient for casseroles and pasta bakes. It is frequently found in frozen dinners and deli entrees.

Health notes

Ziti is a carbohydrate-rich food. The FDA considers pasta made from enriched durum wheat semolina to be a safe and wholesome food. Like other grain products, it provides energy and some B vitamins and iron if enriched. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from moderate consumption of pasta as part of a balanced diet. JECFA has evaluated pasta ingredients and generally recognizes them as safe.

Allergen info

Ziti is made from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten.
