Ahh. When I was at the store I almost bought the "long ziti". It looked
like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Anna-Long-Ziti.../dp/B001L498JS

It is much thicker than the bucatini I bought - which was about the same
thickness of a regular spaghetti - not "thin" or "vermicelli".

I think I will go back and get the long ziti too and use that instead of
the bucatini. I will eat the bucatini in some other recipe.

Thanks.
