Quadrucci (little squares) belong to the minute pasta family to be cooked in broth.
This is a classic pasta made from leftovers and was usually created, as in the case of maltagliati, from the pasta that was left over from making fettuccine on festive occasions.
This pasta is especially good for preparing clear soups such as broths or consommé, enhanced with croutons or vegetables cut in julienne strips.
This pasta can also be used in thick creamy or velvety soups.

Fettuccine are very versatile and so suitable for a variety of sauces. They are recommended in particular in pasta dishes with tomato and meat ragùs. They are also excellent for preparing fish-based sauces, especially shellfish
