Some stores charge a premium price for the delicate texture of angel hair pasta and its super-short cooking time. Save money by substituting thin spaghetti or vermicelli, which are widely available.

An easy way to separate eggs is to crack them into a funnel placed over a bowl. The egg yolks stay in the funnel while the whites slip into the bowl.
