Seafood Fettuccine is one of those dishes everyone should know. The ingredients are so simple that even I can cook this and make it a success. Every Italian knows how to make pasta. Seafood Fettuccine is a gorgeous simple Italian dish that never fails to impress. The mixture of seafood, cream cheese and pasta is a meal to enjoy. I use fettuccini in this but you can use others such as spaghetti or Linguini. It is easy to make your own pasta with each piece handmade not machined. Check our recipe “Homemade Pasta“. Make it, cut it, cook it and enjoy it.
