Look, either you LIKE capellini or you don’t. It’s a super skinny Italian pasta. I would say it is like angel hair. So it is not a HEARTY type of pasta- it is
delicate, quaint, and capellini-ish!

But if you like capellini, this is a fine one. It is in the pasta aisle of Trader Joe’s
alongside the other varieties. I saw
someone online worried that Trader Joe’s might have discontinued it, but I just
called our local store to check in and make sure they still have it – Sally said
indeed THEY DO. And it's pretty cheap, too.

We recently served it with shrimp, olive oil and garlic for a delicate
little dinner. It is also good with
pesto. And we just had it AGAIN tonight
with an Alfredo sauce (which I added mushrooms to). David really loved it and gobbled it up (well,
he gobbled it slowly, he is a super slow eater). In fact, he added butter and salt to the naked
leftover capelli and gobbled that up, too.
This is a flexible pasta.

I sort of wish this was a bad pasta, cuz you know I would love to write something about it being “crapellini”. But I cannot do that. So I won’t.
But I still got to say crapellini, so I am cool with it.
This is a good one to keep in your cupboard.
