Cook the pasta for 1 minute less than package instructions.
Add 4 tablespoons of the pasta water to the pan and return to a medium heat. Stir to combine.
Using tongs, place the bucatini in the pan and toss to coat. Add another 60-80ml of the pasta water to the pan to reach your desired consistency.
