Treat your patrons to familiar, authentic Italian dishes in your restaurant with this Anna 1 lb. long ziti 19# pasta. Whether boiling at its original length or hand-breaking before boiling, this ziti's traditional, uncut length and smooth texture delivers an authentic Italian experience to your eatery. Serve a simple baked ziti with a rich Bolognese sauce and a full-bodied red wine, or substitute your lasagna for this ziti noodle to create a unique twist to a crowd-favorite dish. You can even use this pasta to create a comforting Greek pastitsio, packed full of hearty sauce and warm spices and finished off with a velvety bechamel sauce! No matter how you choose to serve, this pasta offers a superb foundation for delicious, satisfying meals.
Using only 100% durum wheat semolina, which is required by Italian law, and pure water, with no salts or artificial ingredients added, this pasta delivers an all-natural taste and its dried form is best suited for hearty, heavy sauces. Unlike spaghetti or linguine, this ziti's 1/4" wide, hollow tube shape allows it to fill its center with sauce, making each bite a more generous, flavorful experience. To cook the entire package, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and season with approximately 2 tbsp. of salt. Add in the pasta and gently stir within the first minute. Cook to your desired tenderness, stirring occasionally, and then drain immediately into a colander.
