La Molisana Capellini Angel Hair Pasta #17, 100% Italian Wheat, 16 oz (454 g)

Capellini is the Italian word for “little hairs,” and with a diameter under one millimeter, this cut lives up to the name. Creating such thin strands demands ultra-pure semolina and precise temperature control, both hallmarks of La Molisana’s production in Molise. The pasta dries slowly to avoid brittleness, then slips into boiling water and reaches al dente in just two minutes. That speed makes it a lifesaver on busy weeknights or when you are crafting light first courses. To prevent clumping, keep the water at a vigorous boil and stir as soon as the strands hit the pot. Transfer quickly to a skillet of warm sauce—try garlic and olive oil, a light tomato and basil sugo, or delicate shrimp in white wine—and swirl with a splash of pasta water for a silky finish. Because capellini cools fast, serve on pre-warmed plates to lock in heat. For appetizers, form cooked strands into nests in muffin tins, add diced vegetables and cheese, then bake until the edges crisp. Store the remainder of an opened bag in a tall jar to avoid accidental breakage; the strands can snap if jostled in a crowded pantry. From elegant broths to effortless family meals, capellini offers refined texture without demanding time.
