What it is

Fettuccine is a type of pasta made from flour and water, and sometimes eggs. It is shaped into long, flat ribbons, similar to tagliatelle but typically wider. The dough is kneaded, rolled out, and then cut into the characteristic strands.

Why it's used

Fettuccine is a popular base for pasta dishes, especially those with rich, creamy sauces like Alfredo. Manufacturers use it as a carbohydrate-rich component in prepared meals, side dishes, and frozen dinners. Its shape holds sauces well, making it a versatile ingredient for savory applications.

Health notes

Fettuccine is primarily a source of carbohydrates. The FDA considers pasta made from enriched durum wheat flour to be a staple food. Major health organizations like the WHO and EFSA have not specifically evaluated fettuccine itself, but focus on overall dietary patterns. Consuming pasta as part of a balanced diet is generally considered acceptable.

Allergen info

Fettuccine made with wheat flour contains wheat, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It also contains gluten. If made with eggs, it would also contain egg, another major allergen.
