Ingredients Ribbon Macaroni (Fettuccine)
Directions "This is prepared as the two preceding ones, using Ribbon Macaroni instead of rice or ordinary macaroni."
Notes This recipe was taken from "Simple Italian Cookery" written by Antonia Isola (pen name for Mabel Earl McGinnis). It was published in the United States by Harper and Brothers in 1912. It is believed to be the first American cookbook that contains Italian recipes. For the complete copyright-free cookbook see www.archive.org. A variety of recipes from this cookbook can also be found on this website.... P.S. In this recipe Isola refers to "vermicelli" as "ordinary macaroni" suggesting that when one of her recipes calls for "macaroni" vermicelli can be used, as all of the other pasta recipes in her book specifically name the style of macacroni intended, be it spaghetti or "ribbon" macaroni which she clearly identifies as fettuccine.....
