Capellini (Italian pronunciation: [kapelˈliːni], literally “thin hair”) with its diameter between 0.85 mm and 1cm is a very thin variety of Italian pasta. Like spaghetti, it is rod-shaped, in the form of long strands. As very light pasta, it goes well in soup, laksa, salad, stir-fry or in pasta sauces. It can also make a healthy nutritional substitute for vermicelli or Asian noodles.
