angel hair pasta
a.k.a.
capellini
what is it?
Angel hair pasta is a long, thin dried pasta, in essence a very thin spaghetti. It's best paired with light, olive-oil-based sauces.
don't have it?
Substitute other thin strands, such as spaghetti or the even thinner spaghettini.
how to prep:
Boil in abundant well-salted water until just al dente; the delicate strands will continue to cook off the heat in the sauce and you don't want to overcook them.
how to store:
Dried pasta will last just about indefinitely in the pantry.
