VALDIGRANO ITALIAN PASTA - FETTUCCINE 1x500g

Fettuccine refers to a type of pasta shaped like long, flat ribbons. Indeed, the word "fettuccine" means "small ribbons" in Italian. It is a flat and thick pasta that can be either fresh or dried.

Available in long strands or in curled nests, fettuccine is similar to tagliatelle, which is also a ribbon-style pasta. At about 6mm. in width, fettuccine ribbons are just a little bit narrower than tagliatelle, which are about 9mm. wide. But they're close enough to be nearly interchangeable. Fettuccine is about twice as wide a linguine, which is usually about 3mm. wide.

Because it is a thicker pasta, fettuccine is generally served with heavier, meat-based sauces. Fettuccine pasta works best with sauces that are less chunky, as larger pieces of meat or vegetables end up separated from the strands of pasta rather than enjoyed with each bite. Creamy sauces and tomato sauces work well with fettuccine.

The Italian company Valdigrano produces high quality pasta from durum wheat. The Qualita Superiore line is designed for both traditional recipes and restaurant dishes. Ingredients: 100% Italian durum wheat flour kronos. We recommend adding tomato sauce with parmesan or pesto.
