Zitoni are the largest variant of ziti. Ziti is an extruded pasta, originating in Campania. It is shaped into a long, wide tube, about 25 cm long, that needs to be broken by hand into smaller pieces before cooking. Ziti have similarities to bucatini but are much thicker. Ziti are often stuffed and baked, where penne, another tubular pasta but one that is pre-shortened, are sauced or used in pasta salads. Ziti in the US is most commonly associated with the Italian-American dish of baked ziti although it is also used in pasta alla Norma. In Sicily, it is traditionally served at a wedding feast. Ziti is the plural form of zito, meaning "bride" or "groom" in Sicilian dialect. Other names used to indicate the “Zitoni" pasta shape: Candele. Boccolotti. Zituane.
