Fettuccine (literally "little ribbons" in Italian) is a type of pasta popular in Rome. It is a flat thick noodle made of egg and flour wider than but similar to what's called tagliatelle elsewhere in Italy. Fettuce is a wider version of fettucine whilst fettucelle is thinner.
Fettuccine is traditionally made fresh (either at home or commercially) but dried versions also exist on the market.
A popular fettuccine dish in North America is fettuccine alfredo.
