What to know about angel hair pasta
Angel hair, or capellini, is the finest strand of wheat pasta, delicate enough to cook in a couple of minutes. Thin as it is, it is still durum wheat, so it is high in gluten and high in fructans and rated high FODMAP. The slim strands do not make it any safer than spaghetti: it triggers the same gluten reactions and the same fructan-driven bloating and gas.
Watch for
- High in gluten like all wheat pasta, so it is unsafe for celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
- High in fructans and high FODMAP, which commonly brings on bloating and gas
- The thin shape absorbs sauce fast but changes nothing about the gluten or fructan content
