Lasagnette are consumed all over Italy and are part of the long, flat pasta family.
Their shape is particularly suited to the preparation of recipes based on tomato sauce with aromatic herbs or meat-based sauces.
They also go really well with spicy condiments or seafood sauces.
In the culinary tradition of the Liguria region, they are excellent for the preparation of first courses based on pesto.

The origins of Capellini, with their evocative name (fine hair) and light consistency, are contested between the area around Genoa, Naples and the Ciociaria (central Italy). It is one of the thinnest types of long pasta wound into a nest shape.
Even the name Capellini is reminiscent of the fine consistency of this type of pasta which is ideal for infants from 9 months old onwards to help them get used to eating food for grown-ups.
Simple condiments are recommended for this type of pasta. It is excellent combined with butter dressings, such as uncooked butter and cheese, or melted butter with sage and cheese. Egg or fresh raw tomato based sauces are also excellent. Another way to enjoy Capellini is in a light, chicken broth. In addition to broths and pasta dishes with sauces, this pasta is also used to prepare oven-baked dishes in the Naples region.
