Butter and sage or light broth

Simple sauces for fine strands

Give the fine strands a simple accompaniment. For De Cecco’s capellini, try butter with sage and cheese, raw fresh-tomato sauces or light broth. Choose one of those directions rather than treating this delicate format as a smaller portion of a hearty pasta dish.
