Pasta Partners Kit - Angel Hair with Scampi Sauce (Gluten-Free)

Rice Vermicelli (also know as Angel Hair) with Tomato & Parsley Vinaigrette

A delicate pasta experience, naturally gluten-free.

Discover the authentic elegance of rice vermicelli—the Asian answer to Italian angel hair. These ultra-thin noodles have graced tables across China and Southeast Asia for over 2,000 years, prized for their silky texture and delicate bite. Now paired with our aromatic Tomato & Parsley Vinaigrette, this kit brings restaurant-quality pasta to your kitchen in minutes.

Why Rice Vermicelli is Superior for Gluten-Free Pasta:

Unlike wheat-based alternatives that can turn gummy or grainy, rice flour creates naturally smooth, springy noodles with an authentic "al dente" texture. The secret lies in rice's unique starch structure—it delivers that satisfying slip-and-slide mouthfeel without needing gluten. Plus, rice vermicelli cooks in just 3-4 minutes and has a clean, neutral flavor that lets your sauce shine.

What's Inside:

Rice Vermicelli - Pure rice flour and water, nothing else. Traditional Asian-style noodles thinner than angel hair (also called "rice sticks")
Tomato & Parsley Vinaigrette Spice Blend - A vibrant Mediterranean mix of parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, tarragon, onion, garlic, sea salt, black pepper, red pepper, celery seed, dill seed, rosemary, oregano, and caraway.

Perfect For:

• Gluten-free and celiac-friendly diets
• Light summer dinners and elegant entertaining
• Quick weeknight meals (ready in under 10 minutes!)
• Scampi-style dishes, Asian stir-fries, or cold noodle salads
  

Cooking Tip: These delicate noodles need just 3-4 minutes in boiling water—or simply soak in hot water until tender. Toss with the vinaigrette blend, your favorite protein, and a squeeze of fresh lemon for an effortless meal that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.

The Angel Hair Story:
While Italian "capelli d'angeli" (angel's hair) has delighted diners since the Renaissance, rice vermicelli boasts an even older pedigree—Chinese texts mention these ethereal noodles as far back as the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). Whether you call them angel hair, rice sticks, or vermicelli, these impossibly thin strands represent pasta at its most refined.

PASTA WITH SCAMPI SAUCE

• 2 tbsp   Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/2 chicken stock
• ½  cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 tbsp Tomato & Parsley Spice
• 1 lb shelled and deveined shrimp, optional
• 1 8oz packet Rice Vermicelli (Angel Hair)

In a sauce pan heat olive oil, wine and butter on high.  As the mixture begins to bubble, reduce heat to medium and add the spice packet and shrimp.   Add dried pasta.  Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes, tossing a couple times to ensure the pasta cooks evenly.

This dish is also nice substituting shrimp for clams or sausage.  Or try it with mixed vegetables and tofu.  Serve with grated romano cheese and lemon wedges.
