De Cecco Bucatini No.15 Semolina Pasta, 16 Oz

Seriously—this is hands down the best pasta I’ve ever had. As a devoted pasta lover with over 50 years of experience (including making my own from scratch), I’ve tried countless brands. This one truly exceeded my expectations. Every time I serve it, people ask, “What brand is this??” It’s that good.A quick tip for fellow pasta enthusiasts: don’t overcook it. This pasta has a wonderfully firm texture when cooked correctly, but if it’s overdone, it becomes overly dense. I’ve tried freezing it after cooking, and while it’s still edible, the texture gets a bit too thick and loses some of its original appeal.For the best experience, cook only what you need and follow the package directions closely—trust me, it makes a difference. One more thing I appreciate is how beautifully this pasta holds onto sauce. Whether it’s a light olive oil blend or a hearty ragu, it clings perfectly, making each bite rich and flavorful.If you’re serious about pasta, this might just become your new favorite too.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Just trying something other than store stuff. Best tasting pasta from a box we’ve ever tried

A high-quality product. They would be great for anything that you would use egg noodles in. I use them for chicken soup, beef and noodles.

My husband loves cooking these

Good quality but pricy

Quality:Real pasta from Italy!

This pasta shape is such fun! DeCecco makes high quality pasta and offers traditional and unusual types such as this. Think: spaghetti with hole running through the center. Delicious.

I love the fact that it has the hole all the way through the pasta. It grabs so much sauce. It’s crazy. It is delightful for any kind of pasta you made. This one was just a pesto butter type of pasta with shrimp that I made up. But yes, very very good. I’ve already ordered two more.
