Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian pasta dish that originated in Rome. It consists of fresh fettuccine pasta tossed in a rich and creamy sauce made primarily of butter and Parmesan cheese. The sauce is typically made by melting butter in a pan and adding heavy cream, which is then simmered until it thickens slightly. Grated Parmesan cheese is then added to the sauce, creating a smooth and velvety texture. The cooked fettuccine noodles are then added to the sauce and tossed until they are evenly coated.
Fettuccine Alfredo is often garnished with additional grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation. Some variations of the dish may include ingredients like garlic, nutmeg, or black pepper to enhance the taste. It is a simple yet indulgent pasta dish loved for its creamy and comforting flavours.

Hi Alex!! The history of Fettuccine Alfredo in my family started with my grandfather, son of Italians but born in Brazil. When he was in Rome he went to meet the famous Fettuccine Alfredo and fell in love with the dish. He tried to reproduce without success here in Brazil. My father and my aunt, after tasting my grandfather's experiences so much, when they went to Rome, they went to Afredo's and tasted the much talked about dish. Needless to mention, they also fell in love with the dish and tried, unsuccessfully, to replicate it too. After eating the Fettucini Alfredo experiences made by my father, my aunt and my grandfather, I ended up going to Rome to try this mystical dish. There I told this story of my family to the waiter who promptly invited me to see the preparation in the kitchen. There I saw the simplicity of the dish and when I returned to Brazil, I immediately decided to try to reproduce it for my family. This time I was finally successful because I did it with the same simplicity as it was done in the restaurant. For every 100g of Pasta, use 25g of butter and 50g of Parmesan. Add the cooking water and mix. Then the famous Fettuccini is ready. The secret is to use Parmesan, butter and good quality paste. Mix in a hot dish and don't forget to add the cooking water. This is essential for the cream to be made. Hug, Fred Samarane

@lazios Год назад

Actually is superfamous but it's a homemade pasta (called "burro e parmigiano", very quick to do), Alfredo simply added more butter and parmesan (of highest quality) and (of course) the "mantecatura" (i.e. what it does to create the cream). Basically it's a very simple dish which, if made with excellent ingredients, is good (he has only made it more fancy, 'cause the restaurant, I think to impress the tourists). Sure, it has nothing to do with the version exported to the US (by two famous actors of the 30s), in America they added everything in the recipe, I think because not having high quality Parmesan and butter, the pasta was not very good, probably it had very different flavors from those tasted in Rome, bland and flat maybe?

Sometimes simple is best.

@XMarkxyz Год назад

As a dish it's meant to be conforting because it was inspired by the traditional "pasta in bianco" (usually not fresh egg pasta though) that we make when someone is sick, Alfredo made it for his wife with this kind of variation when she was sick and after he though of serving it in the restaurant

@amarug Год назад

At the around 6min mark, I paused the video, went downstairs to the kitchen, mixed an egg and flour, pushed it through the pasta roller, and reproduced the few simple steps i saw here with freshly grated Parmigiano... came back less than 10min later with a plate that looked identical to Alex' and it was EPICAL. Edit: The "what could possibly go wrong" -I am not so sure if the worry is too warrented here. I do have to say that I am a pretty experienced cook, espeically when it comes to procedures to create emulsions and other more delicately balanced states, however, this seemed really pretty straight forward. I just eyeball followed what they did on screen, it looked like a carbon copy of the plate Alex ate and the taste and texture were incredible and also exactly as Alex described. I guess the biggest danger is if your pasta water is so thinned out that it has no starch to aid the emulsion, you make a so small amount that it cools down too fast or you use finely pre-grated cheese that contains essentially sawdust that will not emulsify properly. So if you keep the portion big enough to keep the heat stable, you use a VERY small amount of water (just enough to absorb the pasta and also coat the pasta well with flour) to get very starchy water, mix it all, balance salt in the water and it will be amazing.

@WinstonSmithGPT Год назад

There’s also a temperature happy medium. Too hot and the cheese breaks. A much bigger problem with cacio e pepe due to the lower fat content.

...I mean, you are correct in saying that "pasta Alfredo" is almost unknown here in Italy, but that is only the name, the dish itself is actually pretty common (usually given to kids when they're sick), most people call it "pasta burro e parmigiano" (butter parmesan pasta)... Personally I love it even when I'm healthy, especially with some freshly grinded black pepper on top! The restaurant as usual for tourists trap uses a very gimmicky way to prepare it, in reality the main thing to make it creamy is to mix it vigorously so as to properly emulsify the parmesan, the butter and the starchy pasta water...

@dmarsub Год назад

While it is certainly for show and likely not the best possible way, if they have done that in this way for such a long time it is more than "a tourist trap" in my mind, or am i missing something? But it would be interesting to compare this dish with "pasta burro" in other highly appreciated italian restaurants.

@WinstonSmithGPT Год назад

It’s more fun to hear people who can’t boil water lecture you about a dish you ate every time you got sick as a child. I don’t know why RU-vid thinks it’s necessary to make fifty thousand videos about emulsifying pasta sauces. My mother has no idea it was such a fancy technique when she did it every time she made a white sauce.

In Rome we call it "pasta burro e parmigiano" or "la pasta dei cornuti". The reason is simple, in the family only the man worked and left his wife to take care of the house (not that much has changed...), if when he came back he found such a simple dish, evidently the wife had had "other things to do" during the day, then "the pasta of cuckolds".

I agree that the name "Fettuccine Alfredo" and its specific preparation aren't as well-known in Italy. While many people on RU-vid have likely encountered the recipe, a simpler pasta dish with the same basic ingredients (butter and Parmigiano Reggiano) is a common favorite from the Alps to Sicily. We call it "pasta burro e parmigiano." It's also known as "La pasta dei cornuti" (The Cheating Wife Pasta) because its quick preparation time (about the same it takes to cook the pasta) would allow an unfaithful wife who spent the morning with her lover to still serve her unsuspecting husband a delicious meal.

@willthedingo Год назад

This is one of those dishes, where the ingredients really speak for themselves. Where the butter matters, the cheese matters, and it wouldn't all come together if that pasta water pot wasn't constantly simmering away, cooking serving after serving of pasta.

@hamzahqudsi9208 Год назад

That's italian cooking in a nutshell. Every ingredient is intentional and technique can make or brake the dish. I'm south Asian and in south Asian cuisine it's almost the complete opposite philosophy. It's lots of spices and no specific ingredient takes center stage. I like to say South Asian food is like an orchestra where Italian food is like a small ensemble.

The most famous last words: "What could possibly go wrong ??" Thx for your inspiring work Alex.

Your cacio e pepe video (and all my attempts) made me understand what I was missing when making pasta, thus, this dish, which is as simple as cacio e pepe, made me intrigued what I will discover on the road to make it. Keep it up, Alex, you get the spirit of this art.
