I am glad to report that Bucatini abound (2025) and also that the Mafaldine shortage that I encountered has been remedied.
For those unfamiliar with specialty pasta, I highly recommend Mafaldine [0] (a kind of skinny lasagna, in the form of a noodle, and Fusili Bucati lunghi, the very long corkscrew pasta. Not the small and fat "setscrews" you find in pasta salads, "corti" also called rotini.
