Description
Fresh fettuccine is a type of flat, elongated Italian pasta, similar to ribbons, made from wheat flour and fresh eggs. Its soft and delicate texture allows it to perfectly absorb sauces, making it ideal for creamy dishes or those with light ingredients.
The origin of fettuccine dates back to the Lazio region, especially Rome, where it is one of the most valued traditional pastas. Prepared in an artisanal way, fresh fettuccine stands out for its tenderness and quick cooking time compared to dried pasta.
Regarding its properties, being an egg pasta, it provides a good source of proteins and carbohydrates, essential for providing energy. Furthermore, being fresh, it maintains a softer texture and a more delicate flavor than industrial dried pasta.
In different Hispanic American countries, fresh fettuccine may also be known as fresh tallarines or simply fresh noodles, terms used to describe similar homemade or artisanal pastas made with egg.
