Angel Hair pasta is well-known as a go-to noodle and a perfect pantry staple. Though it’s often confused with the Spaghetti noodle, it’s thinner shape works best with light cream and oil-based sauces. Another point of confusion could be that Angel Hair pasta is the Americanized name for the thin Capelli d’angelo noodle.

Cervasi’s Angel Hair-style pasta carries the Capellini name on its package. Capellini is often used for entrees and side dishes or added to soups. A favorite pairing includes Capellini with shrimp, fresh tomatoes and herbs, such as basil and oregano, garlic and lemon ― plus Cervasi extra virgin olive oil, of course!
Capellini pasta is a great option for those with busy schedules because it cooks faster ― all thanks to its thin shape. For recipe ideas that feature Capellini (a.k.a.
