Bucatini all’Amatriciana

Bucatini all'Amatriciana - A hearty and satisfying Italian dish made with bucatini pasta, rich pancetta or guanciale (an Italian pork), sharp Pecorino Romano cheese, and bright San Marzano tomatoes. It's so simple to make and sure to satisfy those carb-y cravings!

Bucatini with amatriciana sauce in a white serving bowl with parmesan cheese and parsley garnish.

What is Bucatini?

Bucatini is a long, tubular, straw-like pasta that's made from durum wheat flour. It's similar to spaghetti but thicker because it has that hollow center running through it's entire length.

It is a popular pasta in Rome, Italy. It is said to originate from the city of Amatrice. It's name comes from the Italian word "buco", which in English translates to "hole."

Can you imagine the labor of love to create the handmade version of this pasta by wrapping individual pieces of dough around a thin rod (known as a ferretto) and rolling it thin?

For this recipe the commercially made, store-bought pasta will definitely do.

I think you will love this specialty pasta, and the fun change it is from your typical spaghetti.

And hopefully you are able to track some down at your local grocer. It is the perfect base to this tomato-y amatriciana sauce!
