Kroger Angel Hair Pasta, 32 oz
What it is
This is a package of angel hair pasta, also known as capellini. It is a very thin, delicate strand of pasta made from durum wheat and water. The thinness of the strands means it cooks very quickly compared to thicker pasta shapes. It is a staple in many pantries for quick and easy meal preparation.
How people cook with it
Angel hair pasta is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and ingredients.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Light pasta salads
- Side dish for seafood
- Base for vegetable primavera
To cook angel hair pasta, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Because it is so thin, it cooks in only 3 to 5 minutes. It is important to cook it until it is al dente, meaning it has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well and toss it with your chosen sauce or ingredients right away to keep it from clumping. Overcooking will make it mushy.
How it differs from similar foods
Angel hair pasta is significantly thinner than spaghetti or linguine. This thinness affects its cooking time, making it much faster to prepare. It also absorbs lighter sauces more readily and can be more delicate in texture when served.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a fast-cooking pasta option for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining pasta in an airtight container or the original packaging, sealed tightly. Keep it in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry, to maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing odors or moisture.
