Meaning and background
The story behind Bucatini
Bucatini is a pasta shape made of long, hollow tubes. The word comes from Italian and relates to making a hole, a useful clue to why the pasta is tubular. Collins records it as a plural noun, not as an old-fashioned given name. Its four-syllable English pronunciation makes a striking alternative to shorter dog names; any suggestion that the dog likes pasta would be pure invention.
