Setaro Bucatini Lunghi is an exceptionally long, hollow strand pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. The name bucatini comes from the Italian word buco, meaning "hole," referring to the tiny hollow channel running through the center of each strand. Lunghi means "long," and Setaro's special format measures an impressive 60 cm, or nearly two feet.
How to Use Setaro Bucatini Lunghi
Bucatini combines the experience of a long strand pasta with a hollow center that helps capture sauce. It pairs beautifully with rich tomato sauces, guanciale or pancetta, cheese, seafood, and vegetable preparations. Bucatini is also famously associated with bucatini all'Amatriciana, the classic Roman pasta dish made with tomato, guanciale, and Pecorino Romano.
