Zitoni
or "Bridegrooms" are cut pasta 4 times longer than ziti which are
tubular shaped pasta, smooth or ridged, smaller in diameter than manicotti, but
larger in diameter than bucatini. Zitoni and ziti are paired well with
stew-like sauces and meat dishes, baked dishes and rustic one-pot meals, such
as baked Sicilian zitoni or ziti, both a comfort food and a dish served at
celebratory feasts.
