Ziti pasta is a smooth, tubular pasta originating from Italian cuisine, particularly popular in Southern Italy. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, it’s a versatile ingredient often used in baked dishes like ziti casseroles or paired with rich tomato-based sauces. Durum wheat provides a good source of complex carbohydrates for energy, as well as small amounts of protein and dietary fiber. Ziti is typically low in fat, though it’s important to balance it with nutritious accompaniments such as vegetables, lean proteins, and heart-healthy oils. Whole wheat or alternative grain versions of ziti offer additional fiber and nutrients compared to the traditional refined wheat variation. While delicious and filling, ziti can be calorie-dense, especially when heavily sauced or layered with cheese, making portion control essential for a balanced diet.
