The name originates from the dialectal form “i zit” (the spouses). In fact according to the culinary tradition of southern Italy the ziti are the pasta of solemn occasions, in particular of the wedding dinner. Unlike long ziti, to be broken by hand, this format is already broken and ready for cooking. They are produced with the timilia, one of the ancient wheat varieties that Rustichella proposes to rediscover for a healthy and genuine eating philosophy. Ideal with the cream of Rustichella d’Abruzzo basil or with a light dressing based on vegetables.
Cooking time: 9-11 min.
