Rueditas: Las rueditas (14) son pequeños tubos de pasta que se utilizan en las sopas de verdura italianas junto con las ruedas pequeñas. También se emplean en la escudella catalana, además de los gallets, una pasta parecida al tiburón. En general, las pastas de sopa más habituales son las conchitas pequeñas, letras, estrellitas, (13) melón, maravilla, cuscus y fideos, desde el cabellín al fideo grueso.

thanks!!
neutral Ventnai : In Spain, "cabello de angel" could be confused with a confectionery filling. Only trying to be helpful. To a British English speaker angel hair pasta doesn't sound correct either.

Thx-. At any rate, read Rachel's answer, perhaps the Brits understand capelli d'angelo in the original language (It). Rachel lives there, I believe.

When I say "here", I mean in Spain - where I live :-)
