It is well known that eating spicy food can cool your body down. This refreshing dish of cold Angel Hair Pasta (Capellini) is something I often crave on a hot summer day. I don’t want to cook anything, but Angel Hair Pasta can be cooked in a few minutes. I can put up with it. Angel Hair Pasta can be replaced with Somen, Japanese thin noodles.
