Ziti pasta is a thick long tube of pasta (about 18 inches) that is broken into pieces before cooking. Most commercial ziti that you buy today is already broken into 2-inch segments.

The name ziti gets its name from the word zita which means a young woman who is about to become a bride, or "little girl." In parts of Italy, baked ziti has been served at weddings, as part of their tradition.

Ziti pasta is a little different from spaghetti, as it is thicker. Ziti pasta is not as common as spaghetti either, but you can usually find it in the grocery store. It was helped to be created in Italy, the home of pasta and Pizza.
