- Shape
- Hollow pasta shapes
- Examples
- Bucatini, rigatoni, paccheri
A hollow strand or a short tube
The hollow is the shared feature, while the profile changes. De Cecco suggests amatriciana for bucatini and meat sauces for rigatoni and paccheri. Try those documented directions to compare a long hollow strand with the more substantial short formats. The family name does not prescribe one dough or sauce.
