Fettucine is long, flatter noodles that are delicate yet strong. They are made in a way to seem delicate in the mouth yet hold a strong texture. Gustora ranked in the top 10 pasta brands in India, uses durum wheat semolina and follows slow drying process to lend that beautiful and rich texture to these delicately thin noodles. As Fettucine is little wider, they are ideal for heavier sauces, tomato or cream-based preferably.

Spaghetti: A little rounder and thicker version as opposed to flat fettucine, the thickness acts as a perfect blanket to strong and more piquant sauces. Spaghetti has been an ideal choice among pasta lovers since its inception and continues to be an American favourite. Gustora’s spaghetti is packaged durum wheat which is slowly dried and processed using bronze dyes to produce a toothsome product. This helps in achieving the ideal texture for al dente doneness.

The golden rule says, the thicker the pasta, the heavier the sauce to complement its texture and fineness. However, you can always pair up your pasta as you like it and it’s never going to disappoint you. Literally, a human best friend as they call it.
