Paccheri (Italian: [ˈpakkeri]) is a type of pasta in the shape of a very large tube, originating from the Campania region of Italy.
They are generally smooth, but there is also a ribbed version, paccheri millerighe.
The name comes from Neapolitan paccharia, 'slaps', with a depreciative -ero to indicate something common.
[2] The name has been ascribed to a slapping sound they may make when eaten.
[3] They can be served stuffed.
