Bucatini: The Flavor-Filled Hollow Strand
500 g
Similar to Spaghetti but thicker and hollow. This hidden tunnel allows the sauce to seep right into the heart of the pasta, delivering intense flavor in every bite. It’s the ultimate partner for the famous Amatriciana sauce.
Bucatini may look like thick Spaghetti at first glance, but it takes its name from the Italian word “buco,” meaning “hole.” This tiny hollow center running through the entire length is what sets Bucatini apart; it doesn’t just let the sauce coat the exterior, it invites it to flow through the heart of the pasta itself. It is the iconic soulmate of Roman cuisine’s Amatriciana—a rich sauce made of tomatoes, guanciale, and sharp pecorino cheese. The unique texture it provides, combined with a firm al dente bite and its ability to hold liquid gold in its center, makes Bucatini a top-tier choice for true pasta aficionados seeking a more robust dining experience.
