| DeCecco Bucatini |
Our friends try to promote a Friday night tradition that they call "Italian Shabbat." That's a Friday night with friends and Italian food. They put on terrific food, and I stole the easy part: a thick, long pasta called bucatini.
That's thicker than spaghetti, but just as easy to make. It's actually a long hollow tube. Terrific with the meat sauce that our friends (let's call them "The Cordis Couple") served. Terrific with all kind of pasta sauces that I have tried since I started buying bucatini in Wegmans in Columbia.
DeCecco's bucatini is a few dollars a box. That's more than almost every other brand of pasta. But the noodles themselves are delicious, and there is something fun in splurging on a luxurious shape.

ReplyDeleteAs a Italian I use bucatini a ton, especially with carbonara, I find it to be perfect.
ReplyDeleteBut in all honesty, I prefer Wegmans Italian brand to the DeCecco, and its cheaper!
@Anon -- There is a Wegmans brand? That's hilarious. I never thought to look.
ReplyDelete@Demetrious -- Thanks for the advice. I'll keep an eye out for Misko Macaroni.
We have, on occasion, found bucatini at Trader Joes.
ReplyDeleteNot the Wegmans brand in the red box but the "fancier" ones in the green and tan boxes.
