Fettuccine pasta is said to have been one of the first types of pasta invented. Made from egg and flour, it is something that is easy to do at home especially if you have a pasta machine.


The name Fettuccine in Italian means “small ribbons” and the pasta itself is shaped like long, flat ribbons. It can either be fresh or dried.


Because of its heavy characteristic, Fettuccine is normally served in heavier, meat-based sauces and can also work with creamy and tomato sauces.


There are different dishes that use Fettuccine pasta. One of the popular pasta recipes in the United States is the Fettuccine Alfredo which is made up of creamy alfredo sauce and usually is served with chicken or shrimp.


Fettuccine carbonara is of course quite world-renown not only for its delicious taste but also because of its easier preparation.


The traditional recipe of carbonara is quite hard to track down, but many Italians believe that the carbonara dish originated with the “carbonari” or charcoalmen who were involved in the unification of Italy.


Canadian native Chef Kaesta Mcfee has over 20 years of experience in international cuisines, with a specialty in French cuisine. After joining the Rotana Hotels and Resorts in 2013, he quickly progressed to a Cluster Executive Chef in April 2016 and was one of the key components during the pre-opening of Rotana’s second hotel in Oman — Sundus Rotana.


He is now the Executive Chef of Sundus Rotana, Muscat responsible for three dining venues — the Ginger All-day Dining that serves international buffet as well as an a la carte menu, The Lobby Lounge Café and Teatro, on-trend restaurants showcasing unique Japanese, Chinese, South East Asian, Indian and Italian cuisines.


With his sophisticated cooking style, Chef Kaesta’s vision is to make people in Oman experience exceptional and memorable dining preserving original flavours of the dish and using only the freshest of ingredients.
