From the word affettare, meaning ""to slice,"" fettuccine are ribbons cut from flat sheets of pasta. The noodles are similar to tagliatelle, but a wider surface makes fettuccine even better at catching rich, creamy sauces like the famous Alfredo. We also enjoy the hearty mouthfeel and great texture of fettuccine with a chunky ragù.
This pasta is made without eggs. If it's egg pasta you seek, try the classic Egg Fettuccine.
