MELISSA Vemicelli nests, or ‘fithe’ in Greek, are long delicate strands also known as thin angel hair pasta, classically used in vegetable, chicken and fish soups, served intact so that the nest is the centerpiece of the dish. To preserve the shape of the nests, cook them individually. In Greece, ‘fithe’ are often used instead of rice or orzo, in lemony Chicken Avgolemono Soup. While ‘fithe’ pairs perfectly with lighter sauces, these noodles are also used as the base for ‘Makaronia me Keima’, a traditional Greek meat and tomato sauce with the consistency of chilli.
MELISSA Vermicelli Nests are just the right size for beautiful appetisers, served with a tomato sauce and chopped basil, pesto, or garlic and olive oil and topped with grated cheese. They can also be broken into tiny pieces for delicious rice and bulgur pilafs.
