Well it has been brought to my attention that some people, u know who u are, continue to insist on calling ziti, noodles. the generic term for ziti would be pasta or macaroni.
well here's some undeniable proof of what a ziti is.

that is a ziti. thin, round, no lines on it. you can also see through it, if u look through the end. The ends are also cut straight not on an angle like penne.

well you have now seen a ziti, but what is a noodle?
i'm glad you asked that cause this is a noodle:

see much different. thin, flat, no hole through the middle. that is a pasta noodle, but there are also crispy noodles used as a side dish in Chineese food. They aren't even the same color as ziti.

anyone who still doesn't belive me after this undeniable proof can mail me at [email protected] for a further discussion on pasta and ziti.
