Citatielli – Artisanal Pasta (500g)

(0 review)

Ziti Tagliati (sliced ziti) is an iconic classic from the Southern Italian culinary tradition, particularly in Campania and Naples. Originally, the long, smooth ziti tubes were broken by hand for festive family occasions such as weddings – from where the name ziti ('fiancés') comes. This pre-cut variant combines tradition with convenience. Thanks to the sturdy walls and generous hollow interior, Ziti Tagliati is the undisputed star in authentic Neapolitan ragù and rich, golden-brown baked dishes (ziti al forno).

Ziti Tagliati: The Festive Heart of Neapolitan Cuisine

In Campania and the surrounding area, Ziti Tagliati is synonymous with traditional Sunday lunches and festive meals. The hollow tubes soak up rich stews and retain their firm structure, even when cooked in the oven. Thanks to the pressing by artisanal bronze molds and a slow drying process at low temperature, this pasta retains its high protein content (17%), pronounced grain flavour, and perfect al dente bite.

Traditional Combinations

  • Classic: The ultimate pasta for authentic Neapolitan ragù (slowly stewed beef or pork) and baked dishes (ziti al forno) with gratinated mozzarella, ricotta, and meatballs.

  • Alternative: Rich sauces based on aubergine, tomato, and smoked provola cheese, or creamy mushroom sauces.
