That's it and my favorite. You are supposed to break it with your hands
when putting it into the water, but I never do. I like that it is
impossible to eat it without making a mess.

It likes liquidy saucing, the quick tomato types, amatriciana is often
served with bucatini.
I always think you cannot go wrong with:

bacon any kind at all
onion any kind at all
tomato fresh or canned
cheese whatever you like

Cook it not longer than 10 minutes once the tomatoes are in, toss in the
cooked bucatini and cook a minute then add the cheese and toss. Never fails
to please.
