The long version before baking
De Cecco describes breaking its long Zita by hand before cooking, then using it in baked dishes or with dense sauces. Its suggestions include tomato with vegetables and cheese accompaniments such as pecorino, provolone or caciocavallo. Check the version you have: the hand-breaking instruction concerns the long producer example.
