Bucatini is like spaghetti but with a touch of fancy! A long, hollow pasta perfect for capturing every drop of sauce. Its tubular shape offers a unique culinary experience, ideal for accompanying your delicious recipes with rich and creamy sauces.

Thanks to their particular shape, these pasta pair well with Bolognese sauces or various pestos. Here are some recipe ideas:

Tomato and Basil Sauce: Bucatini pairs wonderfully with homemade tomato sauce and fresh basil leaves. Add some grated Parmesan for an extra flavor kick.

Carbonara: Prepare a creamy carbonara sauce with bacon or pancetta, eggs, pecorino or Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Mix the cooked bucatini with the sauce for a hearty and comforting dish.

Aglio e Olio: Sauté finely sliced garlic in olive oil until golden, then add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Toss the cooked bucatini with this simple and tasty sauce.

All'Amatriciana: Make a sauce with pancetta or guanciale (pork cheek), onions, diced tomatoes, white wine, and red pepper flakes. Serve the bucatini with this sauce and grated pecorino cheese.

Pesto: Mix cooked bucatini with homemade or store-bought pesto for a quick and delicious meal. Add grilled vegetables or halved cherry tomatoes for extra flavor.

Baked: Use bucatini as a base for a baked pasta dish. Mix them with a meat or vegetable sauce, top with grated cheese, and bake until golden and crispy on top.

Cooking time: 13-14 minutes.
