Rummo Bucatini Pasta 500g

A Roman classic with a little secret inside. Made for bold sauces and unforgettable pasta dishes.
At first glance, Bucatini might look like a thicker version of spaghetti. Look a little closer, though, and you'll discover what makes this traditional pasta shape so distinctive: a tiny hollow running right through the centre of every strand. This clever design gives Bucatini the character of a long pasta with the sauce-holding qualities of a tube, creating a wonderfully satisfying combination in every forkful.

A classic of the Lazio region, particularly associated with Rome, Bucatini is best known as the pasta of all'Amatriciana. Its generous shape and central opening make it an ideal partner for sauces with plenty of character, allowing flavour to coat the outside while finding its way inside the pasta itself.

Rummo brings its expertise to this much-loved Italian speciality. Made from durum wheat semolina and shaped using bronze dies, these Bucatini have a traditional surface texture that helps sauces cling beautifully. The distinctive Lenta Lavorazione method reflects Rummo's commitment to careful pasta-making, delivering a satisfying texture and the firm bite that makes a good pasta dish so enjoyable.

Although Amatriciana may be its most famous companion, Bucatini deserves to be explored well beyond that classic recipe. It works beautifully with carbonara, cacio e pepe, rich tomato sauces and vegetable-based dishes featuring aubergines or courgettes. Its substantial shape stands up particularly well to bold flavours, making it a wonderful choice whenever a simple, delicate sauce just won't do.

For pasta lovers in Ireland looking to bring a little more regional Italian cooking into their kitchens, Bucatini is a brilliant addition to the cupboard. It offers something a little different from everyday spaghetti, while remaining wonderfully approachable and versatile.

With a recommended cooking time of just 6 minutes, Rummo Bucatini makes it easy to prepare a traditional Italian favourite without unnecessary fuss. Pair it with a generous sauce, finish with good cheese and enjoy a pasta shape that has been loved in central Italy for generations.

Why we love it:
We love Bucatini for its personality. It has the familiar comfort of long pasta, but that little hollow centre makes every mouthful more interesting, especially when paired with a rich sauce. Rummo gives it the texture and satisfying bite we look for in a good dried pasta, while its traditional shape opens the door to some of the most delicious recipes in Roman cooking. A brilliant choice for anyone who enjoys discovering the details that make Italian food so special.
