Giadzy Organic Bucatini Lunghi is a thick, hollow, straw-shaped pasta made in Italy with organic durum wheat and sold in extra-long strands of about 22 inches. The hole in the center lets sauce collect inside and helps the thick walls cook evenly, so it holds up under heavy ragù and creamy sauces better than plain spaghetti. It suits cooks who want a traditional Neapolitan-style pasta and don't mind breaking long strands to fit the pot. Against ordinary boxed bucatini, its selling points are the organic wheat, the Italian artisan production and the extra length; the trade-offs are the long strands and the premium positioning.

Organic bucatini lunghi is a thick, straw-like pasta that looks like chunky spaghetti. Its center is hollow, and the name comes from the Italian word buco, meaning "hole." The hollow center soaks up sauce and helps the thick pasta cook evenly inside and out. Each strand is about 22 inches long.
The dough combines spring water from the Majella mountain range with organically grown semolina wheat flour. The pasta is made in Abruzzo, on central Italy's east coast. It is cut on 100-year-old bronze dies, which give it a rough, rustic texture that holds sauce.
After shaping, the pasta is slowly air-dried for up to 36 hours. This protects its flavor and dense texture and gives an al dente bite.
