Skinner Fettuccine Pasta, 12 oz
What it is
This is a package of dried fettuccine pasta. Fettuccine is a type of pasta that is flat and ribbon-like. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is dried to preserve it for storage. This shape is popular for holding sauces. It is a staple ingredient for many Italian-inspired dishes. The 12-ounce package contains enough pasta for several servings. It is a versatile pantry item.
How people cook with it
Fettuccine is commonly used in a variety of pasta dishes. It pairs well with creamy sauces and hearty meat sauces.
- Serve with Alfredo sauce
- Toss with pesto
- Combine with marinara
- Add to baked pasta dishes
To prepare fettuccine, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried pasta to the boiling water. Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking together. Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions, typically for about 8 to 10 minutes, until it is al dente. Al dente means the pasta is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well in a colander. It is now ready to be sauced and served.
How it differs from similar foods
Fettuccine differs from spaghetti in its width; fettuccine is significantly wider and flatter. Compared to linguine, fettuccine is broader still. This wider surface area allows it to hold richer and heavier sauces more effectively than thinner pasta shapes.
