What makes Barilla Ziti different from other pastas?

Barilla Ziti uses premium durum wheat semolina to create a firm, slightly chewy bite that holds sauces well. The tube shape traps chunky sauces and cheese, making every forkful flavorful. Barilla’s long history and consistent quality standards ensure uniform cooking and reliable texture.

• Tube profile captures sauces and cheese
• Consistent shape and size for even cooking
• Produced by a family-owned Italian company since 1877

How should I cook Barilla Ziti for best results?

Cook ziti in rapidly boiling, well-salted water for the recommended time to achieve an ideal al dente bite. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and taste toward the end of the cooking window—11–12 minutes is typical. Drain and combine promptly with sauce to preserve texture.

• Use a large pot with ample boiling water
• Add salt once water boils, then add pasta
• Stir occasionally and check between 11–12 minutes
• Drain and toss with sauce immediately

Which sauces and recipes work best with ziti?

Ziti’s open tubes are ideal for thicker sauces that cling and collect inside the pasta—meaty ragùs, chunky tomato sauces, and creamy cheese sauces are all great matches. It’s also a favorite for baked dishes like casseroles and gratins where the pasta benefits from oven time and melted cheese.

• Hearty tomato and meat sauces that fill the tubes
• Cheesy baked ziti with ricotta and mozzarella
• Light olive oil or garlic-based sauces for a fresher dish
• Cold pasta salads when al dente and chilled
