DeLallo Organic Capellini, also known as organic angel hair pasta, is a long, thin cylindrical pasta shape made with superior certified-organic durum wheat. Capellini is a more delicate pasta and so it pairs best with sauces and ingredients that are light in flavor and texture such as lemon, olive oil, garden tomatoes, seafood, fresh herbs, etc. Capellini can be broken up and added to broth-based soups.

DeLallo Organic Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with superior, certified-organic wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the pasta cooks, as well as its taste and texture. The durum wheat is milled into coarsely ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta’s color, texture and aroma.

Kitchen and Usage Tips:

Organic Capellini is a delicate pasta cut that pairs best with lighter sauces and simple ingredients. Serve capellini with pesto sauce or other simple olive-oil-based sauces loaded with fresh herbs, garden tomatoes and vegetables. Try it with a brown butter sauce or an easy marinara sauce. Add seafood like shrimp, scallops or clams. Break up the capellini noodles and cook in broth-based soup recipes.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is organic capellini (also known as organic angel hair pasta)?

Organic Capellini, also known as “angel hair pasta,” is a long, thin, cylindrical pasta cut. These delicate noodles are often packaged in portioned swirls known as pasta nests. Capellini pasta shines in similarly light and delicate sauces starring ingredients such as olive oil, fresh herbs, lemon, seafood, etc. Our DeLallo Organic Pasta collection is crafted with superior Italian durum wheat that is certified organic.

What is organic capellini made of?

DeLallo Organic Capellini is made simply with just two ingredients: certified-organic durum wheat that has been coarsely ground into organic semolina flour, and mineral-rich spring water. This authentic Italian pasta is made without preservatives, additives or enriched flours.

What is the difference between organic capellini and capellini nests?

There are two differences between DeLallo Organic Capellini and DeLallo Capellini Nests. The first difference is in its packaging. Our Capellini Nests are pasta that has been twirled into portions to dry. This makes them easy to cook and prevents the delicate noodles from sticking in the pot. Our DeLallo Capellini Nests are an authentic Italian pasta but not made with certified-organic durum wheat.
