Fettuccine

Recommended sauce: Ragù

Wide · ribbon Slow-cooked Hearty

Why it works

Flat, ribbon-cut fettuccine gives ragù something to cling to, creating a perfect forkful of pasta and sauce every time—especially with thick, reduced, glossy ragù.

Quick notes

Best with ragù that's reduced and glossy, not watery.
Finish with a splash of pasta water to marry sauce + starch.
Classic finish: Parmigiano-Reggiano.
