Rustichella d'Abruzzo Egg Fettuccine Pasta
Traditional Egg Pasta Made in Abruzzo, Italy
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. A typical Sunday lunch pasta throughout Italy, egg fettuccine is often served with a hearty meat or mushroom ragù. We also love it with truffle sauces or simply butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
By the way, we just want to point out how easy it is to make great Fettuccine Alfredo: Heat butter and heavy cream over low heat until just bubbling. Add handfuls of Parmigiano-Reggiano and cracked pepper. Toss with the noodles, adding more cream to thin the sauce to the desired consistency. That's it!
