Capellini is my favorite kind of pasta. It is thin and light, but a little more durable and easier to work with than angel hair pasta. I can eat it with just about anything! The other day I made this tomato basil mushroom chicken and served it over capellini pasta. I love cooking with fresh tomatoes and basil because the resulting flavor combination is amazing. This chicken dish is really easy to make and healthy too!
