Fedellini

/ˌfɛdəˈliːni/ noun

Definition

An alternative spelling of fedelini, a thin ribbon-like pasta.

Etymology

Variant spelling of fedelini from Italian, with an extra 'l' added, still deriving from the Italian root meaning 'ribbon' or 'faith.'

Kelly Says

Sometimes the same food has multiple spellings because Italian dialects and English translations don't always agree—it's like how pasta itself traveled the world and got different names in different places.
