Barilla Ziti Cut Pasta, 10 Pound, 2 Per Case

The Barilla Ziti-Cut Pasta pairs well with tomato-based, cheese-based, and oil-based sauces. Made from semolina wheat flour, this pasta is enriched with iron and vitamin B.

Uses

Baked ziti and casseroles: Layer with tomato sauce, ricotta, and mozzarella for classic baked ziti, or build vegetable-and-cheese casseroles that hold their shape in the oven.
Pasta salads: Toss cooled ziti with vinaigrette, fresh vegetables, and proteins for large-batch deli and catering salads.
Soup and minestre: Add to hearty broth-based soups and Italian minestre where a sturdy short cut pasta is needed.
Sauce-forward entrées: Pair with tomato-based, cheese-based, or oil-based sauces; the tube shape captures sauce inside and on the surface for even flavor distribution.

Preparation & Use

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add ziti and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook 10 to 12 minutes for al dente texture, then drain immediately. For baked preparations, undercook by 1 to 2 minutes so the pasta finishes in the oven without becoming soft. Rinse with cold water only when preparing pasta salad to halt cooking and preserve firmness.

Common Applications

Barilla ziti cut pasta appears most often in baked ziti, pasta e fagioli, pasta primavera, cold deli salads, and buffet-style steam table service. Its straight-cut tube shape works well in dishes where the pasta needs to stay distinct under sauce rather than clumping, and the semolina base maintains bite even after extended hold times on a steam line.
