Fettuccine (500g) – DIVELLA

Fettuccine is one of the most iconic pasta shapes from the Lazio region, with a history that goes hand in hand with Italian culinary traditions. The name “fettuccine” refers to its ribbon-like shape, and it has long been associated with the rich food culture of Rome. While fettuccine is often served with creamy sauces, it is also paired with ragu, vegetable-based sauces, or even simple butter and cheese.

The popularity of fettuccine exploded internationally, especially thanks to the famous “Fettuccine Alfredo” dish, which was introduced to America in the early 20th century. This dish, originally created in Rome, features fettuccine served with a rich butter and Parmesan cheese sauce, embodying the simplicity and richness of traditional Italian pasta.
