Bucatini

Bucatini is a type of pasta that resembles thick spaghetti but with a hollow center, forming a tube. Its name derives from the Italian word "buco," meaning hole or cavity. This unique shape allows it to hold sauces well, making it ideal for rich, flavorful dishes like amatriciana or carbonara. Bucatini has a firm yet tender texture when cooked properly, providing a satisfying bite. Its versatility in culinary uses and its distinctive appearance make it a popular choice for both traditional and creative pasta recipes.
