Bucatini is a thick, hollow pasta originating from Italy, particularly popular in Roman cuisine. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, its tubular shape allows it to hold sauces beautifully, making it a versatile choice for a variety of dishes. Bucatini is rich in carbohydrates, which provide quick energy, and offers small amounts of fiber and protein, especially when made from whole grain flour. However, like most refined pastas, traditional bucatini can be low in nutrients and higher in calories, so portion control and pairing it with nutrient-dense sauces and vegetables are key to keeping meals balanced. Often enjoyed with hearty tomato-based sauces, cheese, and olive oil, bucatini can be part of a wholesome diet when enjoyed in moderation and as part of a diverse meal plan. Look for whole wheat or alternative grain varieties for added health benefits.
