Fettuccine... Another new word for us.But you wouldn’t guess right away that we’re talking about ordinary macaroni. Or, more precisely, about Italian pasta. Fettuccine is one of its varieties: long, thick and wide noodles. By and large, fettuccine is not much different from the same tagliatelle and is prepared, like other pasta, with all sorts of sauces. And there are a great many of these sauces, as you know. So, the name fettuccine refers not only to the noodles themselves, but also to the dish prepared from them and the sauce served with such pasta. Classic fettuccine is considered to be pasta prepared with a creamy sauce with the addition of meat, cheese, mushrooms or seafood. Or without any additions at all. Of course, fettuccine is also prepared with shrimp, which has become quite an affordable product for us today. In general, we continue the theme of Italian pasta and prepare fettuccine with shrimp in a creamy sauce.

Helpful Tips
By the way, if you really want to cook exactlyfettuccine, but you can’t buy them, you can make the pasta yourself. For six hundred grams of flour, take six eggs and knead the dough by pouring the flour on the table in a heap and breaking the eggs into it. If you replace the eggs with twelve yolks, the dough will be softer and more “elegant”. Leave the finished dough in the refrigerator for half an hour, then roll it out and cut it into strips about seven millimeters wide. Well, then boil them and cook fettuccine in a creamy sauce with shrimp. Cook with pleasure, and bon appetit! We recommend reading:
