fettuccini

Ribbon-shaped Italian pasta

Fettuccini is a type of pasta cut into flat, ribbon-like strips, wider than linguine but narrower than pappardelle.

The classic preparation is fettuccini Alfredo, tossed with butter and Parmesan.

Also spelled fettuccine, which reflects the Italian more closely.
