Product Description
The Bucatini di Grano Duro Senatore Cappelli from Frentana are a traditional Italian pasta specialty with a distinctive hollow structure – similar in shape to long spaghetti but featuring a fine hole running through the center. This unique form offers great versatility: it pairs beautifully with classic sauces like Amatriciana or Carbonara, captures creamy cheese sauces wonderfully, and is also perfect for creative baked pasta dishes or Pasta al Forno.
Made from high-quality Senatore Cappelli durum wheat semolina, this pasta delivers an intense, slightly nutty flavor and an excellent firm texture. Thanks to traditional bronze die extrusion, it develops a rough surface that helps sauces cling especially well – ideal for those who value authentic Italian quality.

Product Highlights and Usage
The standout feature of Bucatini is its hollow center, which allows sauces to flow inside the pasta – a real advantage in dishes like Amatriciana, Carbonara, ragù, or creamy sauces. Its structural strength also makes it perfect for baked dishes. The bronze die processing and rich Senatore Cappelli wheat give it a robust texture and deep flavor. Altogether, this pasta format is ideal for both traditional and modern cuisine – authentically Italian, high-quality, and full of character.
