Ziti is an Italian pasta shape, extruded into long, narrow tubes with straight-cut ends, that originated in Sicily. When served, the tubes are typically broken or cut into short lengths of around five centimeters and paired with hearty sauces such as ragu or Genovese, or baked into casseroles. Baked ziti, layered with bechamel, ragu, and cheese, is a signature dish of Italian-American cuisine. The name itself is drawn from an old regional word meaning brides or grooms, reflecting the pasta's traditional place at Sicilian wedding feasts.
