Characteristically long and slender, this capellini is made of 100% pure durum semolina. Soft and fine, durum semolina is ideal for pasta, easily forming long strands with its supple, moldable dough. This pasta ships dry and is simple to prepare, requiring approximately 3 minutes in boiling water. For every pound of pasta, use 4 quarts of water. A teaspoon of salt can be added to taste too, or left out if desired. With occasional stirring, the capellini will quickly become tender and ready for service.
