What is "angel hair"?
Angel hair, also known as capellini, is an incredibly fine and delicate pasta with thin strands that resemble angel hair. It is renowned for its tender texture and quick cooking time, making it a popular choice for light and delicate pasta dishes. When cooked al dente, angel hair has a silky and delicate texture, almost melting in the mouth. It absorbs flavors well and pairs beautifully with light sauces, such as olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs, or simple tomato-based sauces.
