Bucatini 500g

Bucatini is a classic Italian pasta known for its thick, spaghetti-like shape with a distinctive hollow center running through each strand. Measuring approximately 3 mm in diameter, bucatini’s tubular structure makes it ideal for holding onto sauces both inside and out—creating a rich, satisfying bite in every forkful.

Originating from central Italy, particularly the Lazio region, bucatini pasta is traditionally used in robust dishes such as Bucatini all’Amatriciana, carbonara, or puttanesca. Its slightly chewy texture and sauce-gripping design allow it to absorb bold flavors beautifully, making it a staple in many hearty, traditional Italian recipes.

Whether tossed with pancetta and pecorino, simmered in a spicy tomato sauce, or served with vegetables and olive oil, bucatini offers a flavorful and textural upgrade to more common long pastas like spaghetti.
