The bucatini is a type of long pasta that I love very much and always have in my pantry because they are thick and go well with many types of sauces, whether simple or elaborate.

Theeggplants are a fantastic low-calorie summer vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes from appetizers to desserts to make excellent pasta sauces, casseroles, and tasty sides!
