Ziti is a type of pasta originating from Italy, known for its short, tubular shape and smooth surface. Traditionally used in baked dishes like ziti al forno, it is a staple of Italian-American cuisine often layered with marinara sauce, cheeses, and sometimes meat or vegetables. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, ziti is a good source of complex carbohydrates, which provide lasting energy, as well as a small amount of protein. Whole-grain versions offer additional fiber, supporting digestive health and heart health. However, ziti’s nutritional profile can vary significantly depending on preparation; dishes with heavy cream, cheese, or processed meats tend to increase saturated fat and calorie content. Paired with nutrient-rich ingredients like fresh vegetables, lean protein, or olive oil, ziti can be part of a balanced diet. It is a versatile and comforting food enjoyed in countless recipes across the globe.
