I was planning on making tapioca milk tea, but then I found your dairy dish more attractive. I will need to burn much calories, so I will chase housecats all day. Don't worry, I have two cats who both run away when chased. I will do half hour each alternately for a continuous 5-hours. Thanks!
No nonna is not proud because italian nonne don t even know what alfredo sauce is, because it’s not an italian dish. Also nonne if you cook a shitty pasta made only with butter and cheese probably would throw a sandal against you
💐👑 You are so funny❣️🤣 And yet so beautiful, and such an amazing cook! You repeatedly re-inspire my desire to make beautiful and delicious food, and to look beautiful, and be happy doing so! You bring joy back in to my life after the recent loss of my son. You always make me smile. THANK YOU 💝🙏🏼🕊💐
It doesn't have to be a “high fat” butter. It depends on the choice one makes. Even the quantity of butter doesn't have to be the same as she put in. I personally obviously wouldn't have put all that whole piece of butter that she put in, but I would have put much less. She really exaggerated here. But she, as you can see in other videos too, likes to abound with butter. This, and I say it as an Italian, is sincerely not "very Italian". However the original Fettuccine Alfredo, here in Italy, are a little butter and a little parmigiano (Fettuccine burro e parmigiano) obviously with the addition of a little cooking water from the pasta.
I love when Americans talks about healthy food, when they are kings of trash food, full of sugar, salt and dangerous fat😂 maybe if she uses a lot of butter and cheese, you can't compare with the processed food in Walmart or Costco or whenever you go.
authentic fettuccine Alfredo is made only with butter and parmesan: no cream, nothing else: the creaminess is given by the butter melted by the starch in the pasta water!... and to think that here in Italy we make this dish whenever we are sick, when we don't have time or when there is nothing in the fridge or in the kitchen!!! because it is considered a simple, economical and very quick dish, very easy to prepare! 😊
It was invented in Rome but I've never seen it on an Italian menu although I've travelled all over Italy. Few places make it and it's mostly to cater to American tourists.
I believe you won't find it on the menu in Italy because, there, it is simply referred to as "Fettuccine al burro" ...and that is exactly how it is prepared: pasta in an emulsion of butter, parmigiano, and pasta water. E tutto!! I'm sure @thepastaqueen could confirm.
@@toffonardi7037 Certainly, but I'm perfectly content to enjoy it (in its original) form... peasant food, around the world, in its simplicity is often the tastiest. 😋
Alfredo cooked it for his pregnant wife as she could only eat "light" food, I don't know the full story but that's kind if the backstory of the recipe. 😊
I know that story (we had to learn and repeat to customer) but it’s a bullshit …. In italy that dish is considered extremely fatty and heavy so nobody in italy would think about that. Alfredo was very smart in understanding how to “trick americans” giving shitty food that they thought was delicious
0:20 The original ones! (Fettuccine butter and parmigiano) But then once this dish arrived in America, the Americans made a completely different version of it, which has nothing to do with the original version. They practically left only the name. But maybe it would have been better if they had changed the name too. Make a completely different dish and leave the original name, it makes no sense.
@@aris1956 You’re right. Most Alfredo has a good grind of black pepper and/or some chives. 😮 My crazy family would substitute some sour cream for regular cream. We knew it was wrong but it is super tasty. Instead of serving meat at a different time or on the side it was mixed it in which is also a great way to stretch it out for Chicken Alfredo. Makes perfect sense. Like I said, where it went from there…
@@skokokelli Here the issue is completely different! It is not all that they added, the fact is that they used the name "Alfredo" which has absolutely nothing to do with the versions they made in America. If the Americans had given those versions a different name, it would have been a completely different thing. Nobody would have had anything to say. But you can't use the name of the chef Alfredo of the “Alfredo restaurant” in Rome, when you do things completely different from what chef Alfredo created.
@@aris1956ALFREDO SAUCE DOENS T EXIST IN ITALY!!!! The restaurant alfredo in rome cooked shitty pasta for american tourists because he understood that if you give good food to americans, they don’t appreciate, if you give shit, they llove it. And thank of this he made money and became famous but contributed to spread the most offense that you can give to italian cousine: the italian american version
Just like mine, except I use chicken stock, cream, and some white cheddar cheese. And I cut the pasta smaller. OK, I'm lying! I'd never post that comment here for real!
Yes, this is the only authentic version!. I hate it when people put garlic, chicken, cream, peas, parsley and fake "parmesan" in this and call it Alfredo. Eat what you want, but at least call it something else than Alfredo..
