Whether smooth, striped, penne ziti, singular penne, or individual ziti, this pasta shape serves as the precursor to various versions in terms of nomenclature and sizes. Originating from Naples, it carries a deep connection to marriage, as "ziti" translates to grooms. Traditionally, this shape was often served as the opening dish at weddings. We prefer to elevate this pasta by pairing it with a straightforward bacon sauce seasoned with pecorino romano cheese.
