bucatini (boo-kah-TEE-nee) - n., pasta in the form of long thin tubes.
Apparently this is a leftover from that pasta theme week? And somehow it ended up at the end of the queue and has worked its way up to the front? Anyway, think spaghetti turned into straws:
Thanks, WikiMedia!
From Italian, plural of bucatino, noun from bucato, past participle of bucare, to make a hole in, verbal derivative of buca, opening/hole, going back to Vulgar Latin *būca, variant of Latin bucca, mouth/cheek.
