What is Fettuccini

Fettuccine is a type of pasta that originates from Italy. It is made from a flat egg noodle that is typically about 1/2 inch wide.

When translating fettuccine from Italian, it literally means “little ribbons.” This type of pasta pairs well with creamy sauces or heartier meat-based sauces.

What is Alfredo Sauce

Alfredo sauce is a rich and creamy sauce typically made with butter, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. While the exact origins of the sauce are unknown, it is thought to have originated in Rome, Italy.

Alfredo sauce is commonly used as a pasta sauce, but it can also be used on chicken, fish, or vegetables.

The sauce can be made quickly and easily using just a few ingredients. It is also very versatile, allowing for numerous variations depending on personal preferences.
