The Story
Ziti's origins trace back to Southern Italy, particularly Sicily. While an exact date is elusive, its close resemblance to other hollow pastas suggests a long history. Ziti's name likely comes from the Sicilian word "zita," meaning "bride," possibly due to its resemblance to decorative trims or tassels.
