Cappellini - These thin, rod-shaped pasta have a round cross section and their thickness can vary from 0.85 mm to 0.92 mm. Very simple sauces go well with these pastas, as they go great with raw butter, such as butter and cheese sauce or just melted butter and sage. Also ideal with egg-based sauces or fresh raw tomatoes. To taste Cappellini at its best, they can also be served in hot broth. In addition to broths and dry pasta, they are also used in Naples to make pies.
