What it is
This is a package of angel hair pasta made by Creamette. Angel hair pasta, also known as capellini, is a very thin, delicate strand of pasta. The pasta is designed to cook quickly due to its thinness, making it a convenient option for busy kitchens.
How people cook with it
Angel hair pasta is a versatile ingredient that pairs well with a variety of sauces and preparations. Its fine strands absorb flavors readily.
- Quick weeknight dinners
- Light pasta salads
- With delicate seafood
- As a base for brothy soups
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the angel hair pasta and stir gently to prevent sticking. Cook for a very short time, usually just a few minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Drain the pasta thoroughly. It is best served immediately with your chosen sauce or preparation. Avoid overcooking, as its thinness can lead to mushiness.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is sealed properly to prevent moisture absorption and maintain freshness. This will help keep the pasta from becoming stale or attracting pests.
