What is
Fettuccine Pasta?

Fettuccine is a type of pasta that is flat and thick, resembling ribbons. It is traditionally made from flour and eggs, resulting in a hearty and chewy texture. Fettuccine is often served with rich sauces, making it a popular choice in Italian cuisine.

Origins & History

Fettuccine originated in Italy, particularly in the Lazio region. Its name comes from the Italian word 'fettucce', meaning 'little strips'. It became widely popular in the early 20th century and is famously known for being paired with Alfredo sauce, which gained popularity in the United States.

Taste & Texture

The taste of fettuccine is relatively neutral, allowing it to pair well with a variety of sauces, but it can have a slight richness due to the eggs used in traditional recipes.

Ingredients

Flour

The primary ingredient, usually semolina or all-purpose flour, provides the starch needed to form the pasta.

Eggs
