Whole Foods Market 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 very thin, which allows it to cook quickly. It is a delicate pasta shape that is best suited for lighter sauces. The package contains 85 grams of dry pasta, which is typically a single serving for one person.
How people cook with it
Capellini is a versatile pasta that pairs well with many different types of dishes. Its thin strands absorb flavors beautifully.
- With light tomato sauces
- In seafood dishes
- With pesto
- In brothy soups
To cook capellini, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir gently to prevent sticking. Because the strands are so thin, capellini cooks very quickly, usually in just 2 to 4 minutes. It is important to test for doneness frequently. Once cooked to your liking, drain the pasta immediately. It is best served right away with your chosen sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
Capellini is significantly thinner than spaghetti or linguine. This thinness means it cooks much faster and has a more delicate texture. It is not as robust as thicker pasta shapes and can break more easily if overcooked or handled roughly.
Who it is for
Home cooks who enjoy quick-cooking pasta dishes will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused, uncooked capellini in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to keep out moisture and pests. Properly stored, it can last for a long time.
