Capellini

Capellini, often known as angel hair pasta, is identical to spaghetti but roughly one-third the size. Capellini means "hair", which may suggest how delicate and thin the pasta is. Made from a combination of flour, eggs, and water, the tiny pasta is sometimes marketed coiled in nests, takes little cooking time, and is best tossed in light sauces.

A few years ago, capellini was at the center of a major controversy due to its tendency to overcook and become mushy and flavorless. Regardless of your stance on capellini, the pasta is regarded to be very easy to digest without much chewing and is offered in a broth to newborns and new moms alike in Italy. Capellini may be one of the lightest varieties of pasta to consume when coupled with fresh ingredients and light dressings. Capellini can be flavored with light sauces of tomato, herbs, garlic, oil, or butter and cheese. The noodles can also be used in salads or stir-fries with thin pieces of meat.
