Barbine (
lit.'little beards';[1]
sg.: barbina) is a type of long strand
Italianpasta very similar to
capellini. It is generally available in a coiled nest shape.[2]
During the
Renaissance, barbine were considered the epitome of culinary art because they are very difficult to make so thin.[3] Usually available in coiled nest form, they are typically served in a
broth or with a light
sauce.
