For those of you who are looking for something a little lighter and more delicate than traditional thin spaghetti, I hope you will give angel hair pasta a try. This is a wonderful alternative to spaghetti for many dishes and yet makes an excellent choice of its own for other dishes.

Don’t let the size of this pasta fool you. While it may be very thin and delicate it makes a very effective addition to your pasta dishes.

Angel hair pasta is a very versatile type of pasta that is great for many dishes and provides a wonderful base for many great meals. This great pasta is an excellent choice when cooking seafood pasta dishes.

The flavors and textures simply seem to compliment one another very well while not taking anything away from the other. You will find that the flavor of one doesn’t over power the other, which isn’t always the case with some pasta dishes.

Angel hair pasta is another fun pasts to experiment with as well. While it does make for an excellent compliment to most seafood dishes, this pasta can be tossed in a little olive oil, a few carefully selected seasonings and spices and make an excellent companion for chicken, beef, veal, or any number of other meat dishes.

You can add a little cream, butter, and parmesan cheese for a sinfully rich sauce that will compliment your angel hair pasta splendidly-just remember the calories tend to add up in these particular dishes so be careful (I know it’s difficult but try) not to make them part of your daily pasta routine.

Even if you aren’t the most creative cook or are not secure enough to do a little carefully crafted experimentation you should be able to find many great angel hair pasta recipes online at no cost. These recipes are great to try because with each new recipe you have the opportunity to learn about flavor combinations that you do like and those that you do not like.

This makes cooking and experimenting later in life much easier as you combine textures, flavors, tastes, and aromas to other dishes based on the knowledge you gain from these experimentations.

Be careful not to let previous disasters turn you off from the wonderful benefits that angel hair pasta has to offer. Some try pairing it with hearty, meaty marinara sauces. While this is perfectly fine if that is the flavor your prefer.

This type of pasta typically doesn’t hold up as well to the heavier sauces and you should consider that when planning your recipes. It works much better with light sauces and not carrying too heavy of a weight when it comes to meats or cheeses.

With so many options for this great pasta I certainly hope you are depriving yourself and your family of all the great flavors you can find with a little kitchen creativity. If you love pasta, there is no reason why you shouldn’t add the always delightful angel hair pasta to the supply of pasta you keep on hand.

  1. Thanks for your review. Very helpful…as I don’t know squat about buying
    pans. I ordered the pans recently with my Amex membership reward points.
    I am excited to start cooking with them, but am not thrilled at all with
    what you noted about the Customer Service. I didn’t receive the set yet,
    but am definitely apprehensive to open the box. I might call Cuisinart
    before doing so…to see how accommodating they are if I need them. I
    won’t mention your video btw. ;o) Thanks again! Happy Holidays!

  2. great review… very helpful! im thinking about buying a good quality
    cookware. As you mention about the warranty its kind of freak me out a
    little, do you know if they changed their policy for a better warranty
    solution for us ?

  3. You mentioned that you need to preheat the pan before adding the oil and
    food. What would happen if you didn’t preheat the pan and add the oil &
    food before the pan is hot?

  4. You’re welcome — I hope it helped. Even though the warranty process seems
    questionable, I don’t see any reason I’ll need to use it aside from user
    error (like if I were to overheat a pan and it warped, it’s not REALLY
    their fault). So I would probably buy them again anyway, but it’s always
    disappointing for me to buy anything from a company who doesn’t stand
    behind their product 100%. That doesn’t mean the product isn’t still good,
    though.
