Although it comes from central Italy, the popularity of bucatini (essentially thick, hollow spaghetti) has rapidly spread throughout the whole country, propelled by traditions, curiosity, and word of mouth declaring it the most delectable type of pasta. Its unique consistency and tiny hole make it the perfect vessel for sauce, as well as a tasty first course that can be prepared according to tradition or with a fun and unique spin. But remember, like any pasta, it needs to be paired just right.Ideal with sardines, all’amatriciana, or cuttlefish ink, as Neapolitan tradition dictates, bucatini is also perfect for original and unexpected combinations. And if cooked very al dente, it’s also great for stuffing vegetables, as it can absorb the sauce and flavor while baking in the oven.
