Capellini, also known as “angel hair,” is a super thin long-cut of pasta that shines with sauces and ingredients that are light in texture and flavor: fresh tomato, olive oil, lemon, basil, scallops and shrimp. We love adding these fine strands of pasta to broth-based soups.
DeLallo Organic Whole-Wheat Pasta begins with a high-quality blend of Italian organic durum wheat. Wheat is chosen for its beautiful color, wonderful aroma and high protein content. All of these characteristics create a pasta with ideal appearance, flavor and al dente texture when cooked. This wheat is ground into whole-wheat flour, then kneaded with rich mountain spring water for everything you love about traditional pasta, but with the benefits of whole grains. True to tradition, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain the pasta’s taste, texture and aroma.

Kitchen and Usage Tips:
Whole-Wheat Capellini is a thin, long pasta shape with a hearty whole-grain presence that is best served with lighter sauces that will not overwhelm its delicate shape. Try it with a fresh fragrant pesto, a light marinara or a simple brown butter sauce. Season with herbs, red pepper flakes and small bits of ingredients. Capellini is also a great soup cut for broth-based soups.
