Bucatini

(Perciatelli)

Bucatini is a long, narrow, tubular pasta variety that resembles spaghetti. The pasta is characterized by its chewy and dense texture. The holes are usually produced by pressing the pasta through traditional Italian bronze plates.


The name bucatini is derived from the Italian word buco, meaning hole, referring to its hollow shape. It is believed that bucatini pasta has origins in central Italy, around Rome. It pairs well with thick, hearty sauces, especially with the classic amatriciana sauce, made with tomatoes and guanciale.
