Italian inventiveness created different shapes of pasta characterized by ribbon shapes, with different widths and colours. That is how, as well as Tagliatelle, Pappardelle and Paglia e Fieno, we also find Fettuccine, one of the most famous and precious shapes in Italian regional tradition. Barilla, Italy's most loved pasta, created a true masterpiece owing to the quality of its accurately selected ingredients, as well as its rough and porous surfaces. Thus, Fettuccine also become part of La Collezione Barilla, elegant shapes that create an authentic masterpiece on every table.
The Shape
Fettuccine are wide strips of pasta with a flat section, wound into delicate nests when raw. These nests open during cooking, resulting in harmonious shapes on your dish. Prepared with a rough and porous layer of pasta, they maintain a good al dente consistency and perfectly retain all the sauces that are part of rich Italian cuisine, treating your mouth with a burst of rich flavours.
Suggestions for use
For a fresh and inviting first course dish, Barilla suggests a wonderful combination of Fettuccine and traditional Mediterranean flavours. For example, a sauce with mixed vegetables, made with bell peppers or egg plant, or prepared by adding an original blend of shrimps and vegetable garden products.
Do also try them with a truffle and mushroom sauce, light yet sophisticated, which you can find in the Barilla Sauces collection. Fettuccine enhance the distinctive truffle scent and mushrooms' delicate flavour, giving you a dish in line with rich Italian gastronomic tradition. |
