Ziti is an unridged tubular maccheroni similar to penne, except it's narrower and the ends are cut in a straight line rather than diagonally. Ziti, which means "bridegrooms", is traditionally served as a first course at wedding feasts in Naples. Ziti's size and shape makes it a good choice for chunky sauces with meat and vegetables. Ziti can be used as a substitute for penne in most recipes, and is often served baked
