Spaghettini
Spaghettini is a type of pasta that is made from durum wheat semolina. The word "spaghettini" means "little strings" in Italian. This pasta is similar to spaghetti, but it is thinner and has a smaller diameter.
Spaghettini is believed to have originated in the Naples region of Italy. The first recorded recipe for spaghettini was in the book "The Art of Cookery" by Johnnie Walker. This book was published in 1831.
The popularity of spaghettini increased in the United States after World War II. This pasta became more widely available after the opening of the first Italian-American pasta factory in Brooklyn, New York.
Advice
When making spaghettini, it is important to start with a good quality pasta. Choose a brand that is made with durum wheat semolina, as that will give you the best results. It is also important to use plenty of water when boiling the pasta, as this will help it cook evenly. Make sure to salt the water liberally, as this will help to season the pasta and give it more flavor. Finally, make sure to cook the spaghettini until it is al dente, as it will become mushy and overcooked if cooked for too long.
