Description
Originating in the Lazio region of Italy, Bucatini is a shape of Italian pasta that is most simply described as a thick, hollow spaghetti. It is a long, narrow tube of pasta named for the hole running down its center. The word buco in Italian means hole. The shape resembles a drinking straw. Bucatini is also sometimes referred to as percatelli other regions of Italy. DeLallo Pasta begins with a high-quality blend of organic durum wheat. Wheat is chosen for its beautiful color, wonderful aroma and high protein content and is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water.. Pasta is extruded with bronze dies for a rough surface texture perfect for capturing sauces. True to tradition, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain the pastas taste, texture and aroma. This straw-like pasta easily sucks up lighter tomato and seafood-based sauces. Famous for its starring role in Roman classics like Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara.
