Overview

Mancini Bucatini is a premium Italian pasta known for its thick, tubular shape and exceptional texture. Bucatini, a traditional pasta variety from central Italy, resembles thick spaghetti but with a hollow center, allowing sauces to infuse the pasta from the inside out. Mancini, a highly regarded artisanal pasta producer, follows time-honored methods to create bucatini with superior flavor and structure. The pasta's unique shape and firm bite make it an excellent choice for hearty and flavorful sauces, elevating both classic and modern Italian dishes.

Quality & Sourcing

Mancini Bucatini is made exclusively from high-quality durum wheat semolina grown on the company’s own fields in the Marche region of Italy. The wheat is carefully selected and milled to maintain its natural characteristics, ensuring optimal gluten development and a firm yet elastic texture. The pasta is extruded through bronze dies, creating a rough surface that enhances sauce adherence. Additionally, Mancini employs a slow-drying process at low temperatures, preserving the wheat’s flavor and nutrients while improving the pasta’s digestibility and resilience during cooking.

Versatility

Mancini Bucatini is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a wide range of sauces. Traditionally, it is used in Bucatini all'Amatriciana, where the thick pasta soaks up the flavors of tomato, guanciale, and pecorino cheese. It also complements rich, creamy sauces like carbonara, as well as seafood-based preparations with clams, mussels, or anchovies. The hollow center of bucatini allows it to hold onto both thick and light sauces, making it suitable for everything from simple cacio e pepe to more complex meat-based ragùs.
