A staple food in many traditional Italian dishes, ziti is a must-have addition to any kitchen. One of the most popular forms of pasta, ziti gets its name from the Italian word meaning "bride," and continues to be a traditional wedding dish in many countries. Ziti features a medium-sized, tube-shaped noodle, and is a great complement to robust or chunky sauces. The hollow shape, which will hold onto extra bits of meat, vegetables, and sauce, makes it especially perfect for hearty sauces containing lots of chopped ingredients.

In addition, this ziti is made with 100% durum wheat semolina to create premium quality pasta which is high in protein. Use this ziti to create unique stir fry dishes, delightful baked casseroles, specialty pasta salads, or of course, the classic baked ziti. No matter what you're serving, this versatile pasta will bring authentic Italian flavor to any dish on your menu.

Best of all, this ziti pasta is easy to prepare. Bring water to a boil on a stove top and add a pinch of salt for taste. Pour in the pasta and stir gently. Allow the water to come back up to a boil and cook uncovered for 10-12 minutes. Once finished, remove the pasta from the stove, strain it, and then add your signature sauce.

Making fresh pasta noodles from scratch can be rather time-consuming, especially when you've got a busy kitchen. Dry pasta will help to cut down on preparation time, ensuring a smooth and efficient service for your hungry patrons. With 20 lb. of pasta in every case, your restaurant will be in good supply when making one of your popular dishes that feature ziti. Al dente or soft, drizzled with olive oil or covered in sauce, this ziti is the perfect all-purpose item to satisfy your customers.
