Get ready for the best version you’ve ever had of one of the oldest and most well-known pasta shapes there is: Ziti. Its history can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when baked pastas were the fashionable dish of choice for royal banquets and feasts. Ziti was the shape of choice because of its sturdy tubes, which captured sauce and wouldn’t get mushy in the oven—and at that time, there weren’t many other shapes to choose from! Our ziti rigati has a grooved exterior to better cling to sauce and melty cheese, making every bite extra flavorful.

Giadzy Pasta is the result of years of careful taste-testing and research with master pasta makers from across Italy. To perfect our first in-house product line, Giada De Laurentiis and the Giadzy team zeroed in on what matters most in a pasta: taste, texture, and fun. By using the finest ingredients and working in partnership with skilled pasta artisans in Italy, we’ve created the pasta we’ve been looking for all our lives—and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Giadzy Pasta is crafted in Abruzzo, a verdant gem on central Italy’s east coast. Abruzzo has the highest concentration of national parkland in Europe, including the graceful peaks of the Majella mountains, home to golden eagles and stunning wildflowers. Pure spring water from the Majella range is combined with organically grown semolina wheat flour from the base of the mountains to make Giadzy Pasta dough, with a sweet aroma of pure wheat. Following ancient artisan techniques, Giadzy Pasta is cut on 100-year-old bronze dies, giving the pasta a rough, rustic texture that soaks up sauce, making every bite exceptionally flavorful. After it’s shaped, the pasta is slowly air-dried for up to 36 hours, protecting its delicate flavor and dense texture. The result: the perfect al dente bite every time.

Stella A. ★★★★★

The ridged surface grips sauce like nothing else I've tried, and the organic flour gives it a subtle nuttiness that makes weeknight dinners feel fancy. Boiled up al dente in about nine minutes and held its shape perfectly in the baked dish.

Claire G. ★★★★★

The texture is spot on—firm but tender with just the right bite, and the organic flour really comes through in the taste. I've made it twice this week already, once baked and once with a simple tomato sauce, and it held up beautifully both times.

Nicholas B. ★★★★★

The ridges on these ziti hold onto sauce way better than any smooth pasta I've tried, and the texture stays perfectly al dente even after a quick reheat the next day. I used them in a baked casserole and they didn't turn to mush at all.
