Chef Tips:
The difference between Tagliolini, Fettucine, Tagliatelle, or Pappardelle is on the width of the pasta, see example:
Tagliolini 1-2 millimeters Fettuccine 3-5 millimeters Tagliatelle 4-10 mm Pappardelle 2-3 centimeters.
Chefs Corner:
Fettuccine (pronounced [fettutˈtʃiːnə]; literally "little ribbons" in Italian; sing. Fettuccina) is a type of pasta popular in Roman and Tuscan cuisine. It is a flat thick noodle made of egg and flour (usually one egg for every 100 g of flour), wider than but similar to the tagliatelle typical of Bologna. It is often eaten with sugo d'umido (beef ragù) and ragù di pollo (chicken ragù).
Fettuccine is traditionally made fresh (either at home or commercially) but dried fettuccine can also be bought in shops.
Spinach fettuccine is made from spinach, flour, and eggs.
Fettuccine Alfredo (Italian pronunciation: [fettutʃˌtʃiːne alˈfreːdo]) or fettuccine al burro is a pasta dish made from fettuccine tossed with Parmesan cheese and butter.As the cheese melts, it emulsifies the liquids to form a smooth and rich coating on the pasta. In other words, it is pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese (Italian: pasta al burro e parmigiano), one of the oldest and simplest ways to prepare pasta. Alfredo Di Lelio gave it this name at his restaurants in Rome, in the early to mid 20th century.
