Vermicelli, spaghetti, linguine...what about....?

"Angel hair" pasta? What is its Italian name? We use the Italian name for just about every other type of pasta, yet every box of angel hair pasta I've ever seen calls it...angel hair pasta. So what do the Italians call it, and why don't Americans call it that?

    "Capelli d'angelo" is the Italian name. Be careful they also have eggs in the dough, otherwise (if made only with flour and water), the correct name is "capellini".
