Fettuccine
Fettuccine is a type of pasta popular in Roman cuisine. It is descended from the extremely thin Capellini of the Renaissance, but is a flat, thick pasta traditionally made with egg and flour. At about, it is wider and thicker than, but similar to, the tagliatelle typical of Bologna.
The terms fettucce and fettuccelle are often used as synonyms for this pasta, but the former term is more precisely used for wider and the latter for narrower forms of the same pasta.
Fettuccine is often classically eaten with sugo d'umido or ragù di pollo. A famous dish made with fettuccine is fettuccine Alfredo, which was created and named at a restaurant in Rome in the early 20th century as a tableside "performance". It is popular in the United States, where it is made with cream, although this is almost unknown in Italy.
