About Angel hair

Angel hair pasta, known as "capellini" in Italian, is a thin, delicate variety of pasta commonly featured in Italian cuisine. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, this pasta is prized for its light texture and quick cooking time. Angel hair pairs well with light sauces like olive oil, tomato-based blends, or simple herbs, allowing its subtle flavor to shine. Nutrition-wise, it is a good source of carbohydrates, which provide energy, and contains a modest amount of protein. While it is low in fat, it is important to consume in moderation due to its calorie density and potential for high glycemic load. Whole-grain versions offer added fiber and nutrients compared to traditional refined varieties. Its versatility and ease of preparation make angel hair a popular choice for balanced meals when combined with lean proteins and fresh vegetables.
