San Giorgio Egg Fettuccine No. 99
What it is
This is an enriched egg noodle product made from wheat flour and eggs. It is a type of pasta that is commonly used in many Italian and Italian-American dishes. The noodles are dried and packaged for convenience, offering a convenient way to prepare a satisfying meal. The enrichment process adds certain nutrients back into the flour after processing.
How people cook with it
Fettuccine is a versatile pasta shape that pairs well with a wide variety of sauces and ingredients.
- Tossed with creamy Alfredo sauce
- Served with hearty meat ragu
- Mixed into baked pasta dishes
- Combined with fresh vegetables and herbs
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the dried fettuccine and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Return the drained pasta to the pot and toss immediately with your chosen sauce. The starch from the pasta water can help the sauce cling to the noodles.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to spaghetti, fettuccine is wider and flatter, providing a more substantial texture. Its surface area allows it to hold richer, creamier sauces more effectively than thinner pasta shapes. The presence of egg in the dough contributes to a slightly richer flavor and a tender chew.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic pasta base for their favorite dishes will appreciate this product.
