What is the best pot to use for this recipe?
It is important to make our one pot fettuccine recipe with a deep skillet so that all of the liquid ingredients fit into the pot before the sauce begins to cook down.
One of my favorite deep skillets is the Simply Calphalon Deep 12-inch Pan.
Another pot I highly recommend for our Bolognese Fettuccine is the Calphalon 1932442 Classic Nonstick All Purpose Pan.
Both pots come with lids, have metal handles so they are also oven safe and have deep sides so all the ingredients from your one pot recipes will fit easily into them.
