Ziti noodles are cylindrical-shaped pasta with straight edges and a hollow center. They are larger and wider than penne noodles but smaller than rigatoni noodles. Ziti noodles typically come in short lengths, about 1 to 2 inches long. They have a smooth texture and can be cooked to various doneness levels, from al dente to fully cooked. Ziti noodles are commonly used in Italian-American dishes such as pasta bakes and casseroles, as well as soups and salads.
