Open in Pepper →Thin Pasta That Cooks While You Stir
Angel hair is the noodle you reach for when there's no time to wait on a pot. It's done in about three minutes, which means the sauce sets the pace, not the pasta.
Cooks on Pepper pull up this collection on the nights everybody's hungry at once — after practice, after a long shift, when the fridge has shrimp or a couple chicken breasts and not much else.
Every recipe here leans on what you likely have: Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta, Creamy Chicken and Angel Hair Pasta made with cream cheese and cream of mushroom soup, Mississippi Beef Angel Hair Pasta with ranch seasoning, Greek Feta & Tomato, Blackened Shrimp, and a plain garlic-and-olive-oil Angel Hair Pasta for a side.
Quick Tips
- 1
Start the sauce first
Angel hair boils in 2 to 3 minutes, so have your garlic, shrimp, or sauce nearly finished before the pasta ever hits the water.
- 2
Salt the water hard
Use about 1 tablespoon of salt per 4 quarts of water. Thin noodles cook so fast they don't pick up much seasoning otherwise.
- 3
Save a cup of water
Dip out 1 cup of the starchy cooking water before draining and add it a splash at a time to loosen a creamy or oily sauce.
- 4
Toss right in the pan
Move drained pasta straight into the skillet with the sauce and toss 30 seconds. Sitting in a colander turns angel hair into one clump.
