Spaghettini

Spaghettini is a type of thin, delicate Italian pasta, similar to spaghetti but thinner in diameter. It is typically made from durum wheat semolina and is characterized by its long, fine strands. Spaghettini is often served with light, oil-based sauces to preserve its thin texture and avoid overpowering its delicate flavor. In Italian, the suffix "-ini" is used to indicate a small or diminutive form, so spaghettini can be literally translated to "little spaghettis".
