THE NAME
It clearly derives from the term spaghi (twine), in reference to the shape of the pasta. Very likely this was the first format to be produced with an extruder bearing simple cylindrical holes. The thinnest formats are also Capelli d’angelo (angel hair), Capelvenere (Venus hair), Fidelini, Sopracapellini, Spaghettini; Filatelli and Spaghettoni for the larger formats. It is to be noted that pasta by the name of Spaghi (twine) does not exist, i.e., with the word in its original form (Note: spaghetti is a diminutive form of spaghi).
