Marinara

The ever-popular Ziti, the tube-shaped pasta cut that is enjoyed the world over, gets its name from the word zita—which means a woman who is about to become a bride, or “little girl.” In Campania and Sicily, baked ziti has long been served at wedding celebration banquets, and this delicious, romantic tradition continues today.  Ziti is best paired with tomato-based sauces and is often used in baked dishes.
