Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Ziti is a kind of pasta noodle. It is kind of a big tube shape but not as big as the type you might stuff with cheese, but more like a big straight macaroni. Here are some other pasta noodle definitions I found online. I was looking for a picture, but do you think I could find one? *lol* Angle hair (Cappelli DÕAngeli) Ð is very fine strands of pasta. * Cannelloni Ð are large tubular noodles which are usually served stuffed and baked. * Farfalle Ð are pastas shaped like bow ties or butterflies. * Fettuccine Ð is long and flat or ribbon-like shaped. * Fusilli (Rotelle) Ð are long pasta strands with a curly, twisted shape. * Gnocchi Ð are soft dumpling commonly made from potatoes, polenta, or flour.
