preparing pasta frolla dough
Pour the flour on a work surface in a mound shape with a hole in the center. Place in the hole the  egg, yolk, butter, salt and sugar. Using a fork draw the ingredients together.
Form a dough and work it quickly with your hands. Avoid heating the dough too much.

Prepare:
Pasta Fresca and Pasta Sheets by hand or Pasta Sheets by machine
with the quantities indicated above and the instructions indicated in
the recipes
cutting the fettuccine
Overlap the pasta sheet about 2 inch (5 cm) on itself forming a long roll.
Slice the roll about 1/4 inch (5 mm)
Loosen the fettuccine.
Preparing and assembling the cake
Place in a food processor the sugar, candied fruit and almonds and run the blade until coarsely ground.
Phreheat oven 400 F (200C). Cover with parchment paper a 9” (22 cm) cake pan. Leave the edges of the paper dangling outside the pan.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cover the bottom of the pan. Push the dough about 1/2 inch (1 cm) up around the walls of the pan.
Spread half of the almond mix on the dough.
Spread one third of the fettuccine. Continue alternating almond mix and fettuccine. Finish with a layer of fettuccine.
Pour uniformly in the pan the melted butter. Bake for about 50 minutes or until the surface is golden.
Remove the cake from the oven, and when still hot pour the Amaretto liquor uniformly in the pan. The liquor will bubble and quickly evaporate leaving only the flavor in the cake.
When the cake is cold remove from the pan pulling by the edges of the parchment paper. Dust with powdered sugar.
