Cooking Essentials
The Technique
Fettuccine
Fettuccine noodles are wide & hold cream sauces well. They were first prepared by cutting strips from sheets of pasta & pair beautifully with chicken & seafood recipe applications. The most popular application is probably when accompanied with a decadent alfredo sauce & they’re even better in Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo. Learn how to prepare this traditional pasta style.

How To Cook Fettuccine
Always season pasta water with salt or the noodles will taste bland & do not add oil or sauces will not cling effectively. Fettuccine noodles do take a bit of additional cooking time compared to other traditional pasta styles. Although I have provided cooking instructions for half of a box of noodles, the recipe may easily be doubled.
Basic Fettuccine
makes 4 servings
3 quarts water
1/2 tsp kosher salt
8-oz fettuccine noodles
Fill a stock pot or Dutch oven with the water & stir in the salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over High heat. Add the fettuccine noodles. Use a pair of tongs to completely submerge the pasta into the water as they soften. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 12 minutes for al dente noodles. Drain the pasta in a large colander. Use as directed in specific recipe applications.
