Bucatini looks like a thick, hollow spaghetti. The name is derived from the Italian word ‘buco’, which means ‘hole’ and refers to the opening in the middle of the pasta. Bucatini is popular in Italian cuisine and is often served with sauces such as tomato sauce, carbonara, cacio e pepe or other creamy sauces. Its hollow shape makes it ideal for absorbing the sauce.
