Thin Spaghetti

Slightly thicker than Angel Hair and capellini pasta, but still refined and delicate, Thin Spaghetti is often used with seafood-based pasta sauces (like tuna) or oil-based sauces. Try this thin pasta in spaghetti recipes featuring simple, light tomato sauces, broths, consommés, and soups, or light dairy sauces like parsley crème.
