Etymology

The word 'fettuccine' comes from the Italian word 'fettuccina', which is a diminutive form of 'fetta' meaning 'slice'. The term refers to the flat, ribbon-like shape of this pasta. Fettuccine has its roots in Roman and Tuscan cuisine, gaining widespread popularity across Italy and eventually the world. In the early 20th century, fettuccine became particularly popular in the United States, especially after the introduction of the dish Fettuccine Alfredo, which was created by Alfredo di Lelio in Rome in the 1920s. This dish featured fettuccine tossed with butter and Parmesan cheese, leading to the pasta's enduring popularity in Italian-American cooking.
