Bucatini is such a great noodle, the world needs to see more of it.

No. It's horrible. You can't twirl it on the fork, and you can't suck it in.

No, the hole in the center makes it a tube pasta like ziti or rigatoni.

When eating bucatini I find I can't slurp the noodles like with spaghetti or fettuccine. The noodles are just a little too big and two or more noodles together allow an air-gap that causes suction loss.

I realize it's impolite to slurp your pasta. Still...Not my favorite noodle.

Depends on what country you're in. I believe that in Japan it is extremely polite to slurp anything.

Oh hell yeah, I love slurping my noodles and/or soup even more when eating the appropriate cuisine.

I was just mentioning it before someone says you can't judge bucatini on its slurpability because you're not supposed to slurp it...

Aye she do be formed the same way, but she’s much thicker. Not a spaghetti but I will allow it.
