fettuccine

/ˌfɛtəˈtʃini/ noun

**Fettuccine** is a broad, flat ribbon of pasta that hails from Italy. It is traditionally made from egg‑enriched dough and cooked until just firm enough to bite. When you hear someone order fettuccine, they usually expect a hearty noodle that holds onto rich, creamy sauces—think Alfredo or a tomato‑based ragù. The strips are typically about a quarter‑inch wide, a size that lets the sauce cling to every side without drowning the pasta itself. Fresh fettuccine cooks faster than its dried counterpart, and chefs often serve it al dente to preserve a pleasant chew. Because of its generous shape, it pairs well with robust flavors and can be tossed with vegetables, meat, or seafood for a satisfying main course.

【核心含义】意大利宽面条,由鸡蛋面团制成,口感柔韧。

通常搭配浓稠酱汁(如奶油白酱或番茄肉酱),新鲜面条煮制时间较短,适合与蔬菜、肉类或海鲜共烹。注意与其它意面(如细面或通心粉)区分。

【Significado central】Pasta italiana en forma de cintas planas y anchas, elaboradas tradicionalmente con masa enriquecida con huevo y cocinadas hasta quedar firmes al morder.

Por su forma ancha y superficie amplia, los fetuccines son ideales para atrapar salsas cremosas o densas, como la clásica Alfredo o un ragú de tomate. La pasta fresca se cocina en pocos minutos, mientras que la seca requiere más tiempo; en ambos casos conviene servirla al dente para conservar una textura agradable. Se puede combinar con verduras, carnes o mariscos. Ten en cuenta que, aunque es muy similar a los tagliatelle (misma forma, misma masa con huevo), los fetuccines suelen ser un poco más delgados; en muchos contextos la diferencia es casi imperceptible.

Word Origin Fettuccine is Italian for 'little ribbons', from 'fettuccia' 'ribbon', which comes from Latin 'offa' 'morsel, lump' — the idea of a small piece of dough. Through Italian, it became 'fettuccia' 'little slice', and then 'fettuccine' 'little ribbons'. So the pasta name literally means 'little lumps' or 'little slices'. The same root 'offa' is obscure, but it's a tasty morsel of etymology.
