Divella Capellini Pasta
What it is
This is a package of capellini pasta, also known as angel hair pasta. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is dried and formed into very thin strands. These strands cook very quickly due to their delicate thickness.
How people cook with it
Capellini is a versatile pasta that pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients. Its fine strands absorb flavors beautifully.
- With light tomato sauces
- In brothy soups
- Tossed with seafood
- With simple garlic and oil
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the capellini and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for a very short time, typically 2 to 4 minutes, until al dente. Drain the pasta immediately and toss with your desired sauce or preparation. Overcooking will make the delicate strands mushy, so watch it closely. It is best served fresh from the pot.
How it differs from similar foods
Capellini is significantly thinner than spaghetti or linguine. This thinness allows it to cook much faster and gives it a lighter texture. It is not as robust as thicker pasta shapes and is best suited for delicate preparations.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy quick and elegant pasta dishes will find this useful.
How to keep the rest
Store the remaining pasta in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Properly stored, it will remain fresh for a long time.
