Ingredients Durum-wheat flour and water.

How Made Long, string-shaped durum-wheat pasta, originally rolled by hand and, later, extruded through a die. Today, it is long-format factory-made pasta. The types and names vary according to the diameter of the pasta and the region of production. They are boiled in plenty of salted water.

Also Known As Fide; in Sicily, fidillini. For the thinnest, capelli d’angelo (angel hair), capellini (hair), capelvenere (Venus’s hair), fedelini, fidelini, and sopracapellini, but also mezzi vermicelli, spaghettini, and vermicellini. For the thickest, filatelli, spaghettoni, vermicelloni, and vermicelloni giganti.
