Bucatini is a classic Roman long pasta, almost like a thick, tubluar spaghetti, with a hole all the way through its centre. This helps the pasta absorb the sauce more easily, which makes it perfect for the Roman staple dish of Bucatini Amatriciana. Perfetto!
Pasta from small artisan producers Rustichella of Abruzzo was recommended as the best durum wheat pasta in the world by Heston Blumenthal in his TV programme 'The Perfect Spaghetti Bolognese'.
