Skinner Angel Hair Pasta
What it is
This is a package of Skinner Angel Hair pasta. Angel hair is a type of pasta that is very thin and delicate. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The thin strands cook very quickly compared to other pasta shapes. This makes it a convenient choice for weeknight meals. It is a pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it
Angel hair pasta is versatile and can be used in many different dishes. Its delicate texture pairs well with lighter sauces.
- With light tomato sauces
- In seafood dishes
- With garlic and oil
- As a base for pasta salads
To cook angel hair pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for a very short time, usually only 3 to 5 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta immediately and toss with your desired sauce. Overcooking will make the delicate strands mushy, so watch it closely. It is best served right after cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Angel hair pasta is significantly thinner than spaghetti or linguine. This thinness means it cooks much faster and has a more delicate mouthfeel. It also absorbs sauces differently, often coating the strands rather than being coated by thicker sauces.

Home cooks who enjoy quick and elegant pasta dishes will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store the uncooked pasta in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Keep it in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and pests. Once opened, ensure the package is sealed tightly to maintain freshness.
