fettuccines

Wide Italian pasta

Fettuccines is the plural of fettuccine, a flat ribbon pasta about a quarter-inch wide.

The plural form appears when referring to multiple servings or varieties: We ordered three fettuccines Alfredo.

Since fettuccine already functions as both singular and plural in English, fettuccines is relatively uncommon.
