Zitelli 43 | Alberto Poiatti

Alberto Poiatti's Zitelli 43 are a traditional pasta shape with a rich history. The name comes from ‘ziti’, which means ‘betrothed’: this pasta was traditionally cooked at wedding feasts. Still today it is a perfect choice for festive recipes and special occasions at the table.

They are small ziti with a hollow, tubular shape, made with high-quality durum WHEAT semolina and water and suitable for a vegan diet. They are made with passion and care for quality, from a controlled supply chain, with traceability and high standards. The texture is just right for holding sauces: the shape captures the sauce evenly and carries the flavour into every mouthful.

They come in a 1 kg pack. Cook them in plenty of salted water and drain them al dente, following the cooking time on the pack. They pair well with rich sauces and vegetable dressings: try them with fresh ricotta and broccoletti, with courgettes, aubergines, peppers and cherry tomatoes, with grilled vegetables and herbs, or with a Sicilian pesto or a sun-dried tomato and almond pesto. Store them in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat.

Thanks to their tubular and hollow shape, Alberto Poiatti's Zitelli are particularly suitable for recipes that require the sauce to adhere perfectly to the pasta. Here are some ideas on how best to use these delicious zitelli in your kitchen:

With Sauces and Pestos: Zitelli's unique shape allows them to capture sauces evenly. Try them with savoury pestos, such as Sicilian pesto or dried tomato and almond pestos, to enhance every bite with an explosion of flavour.

Vegetable Dishes: Zitelli are ideal with fresh vegetable and vegetable-based condiments. Their shape keeps the ingredients evenly distributed, making them perfect with courgettes, aubergines, peppers and cherry tomatoes.

With Ricotta and Broccoletti: Pair them with a creamy ricotta and broccoletti sauce. The pasta holds the cheese-based sauces well, bringing out the delicate flavours and offering a nutritious and tasty dish.

Vegetarian Dishes: Experiment with grilled vegetable-based sauces, add fresh herbs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for a light but tasty dish that celebrates the quality of Sicilian wheat.
