The Best Type Of Sauce To Dress Angel Hair Pasta
BY STEPHANIE FRIEDMAN
Not every type of pasta pairs well with every sauce. Angel hair noodles are light and thin, so they need to be paired with a sauce that won’t weigh them down.
If you want to make a dish with angel hair noodles, avoid heavier sauces like vodka, alfredo, and amatriciana, which will prevent you from tasting the delicate texture.
Angel hair pasta works well with a light sauce like aglio e olio, which only uses olive oil and garlic. If you want a cream-based sauce, make sure to keep them super simple.
A sauce like primavera with vegetable broth or an easy combination of parmesan cheese, cream, garlic, and fresh herbs can work nicely with angel hair pasta.
