One of our camps toured Italy this week via their taste buds. On the last day, we made fettuccine pasta from scratch. Kids mixed and kneaded their dough. They rolled it out with manual pasta rollers, and finally, they cut their sheets of dough into the long fettuccuine strands. We discussed how Alfredo sauce is not truly a traditional Italian dish, but more of an American Italian creation. Our Kitchen House version is rich, luxurious, and always a favorite of campers. Be sure to have some bread on hand because you will want to swipe up every last bit!
