This recipe takes no longer than 20 minutes to make. You start by cooking the sopressata and eventually making the sauce in it. The combination of the tomato sauce and the flavors the sopressata releases is to die for!
Bucatini pasta began in Rome and is now popular all over the world. It is basically a hollow spaghetti, and SUPER delicious! The first time I actually tried bucatini was on a family trip in Rome!
What kind of wine do you recommend for this recipe?
I would drink a red wine like Malbec or Merlot. I feel a red wine pairs well with the red sauce.
