Capelli d"angelo is Italian for angel hair, thinnest of all pasta strands. Because it is so thin, it cooks in only 2 minutes! Angel Hair is great for light entrees, side dishes or broken and cooked in soups. This delicate pasta works best with very thin tomato-based or broth-based sauces or simple olive oil tosses. Use finely chopped vegetables, seafood or chicken in angel hair tosses to match the delicacy of this shape.
