Authentic Fettuccine Alfredo only 3 ingredients

The authentic fettuccine Alfredo made without cream. Simple recipe made with only three ingredients. Cheese, butter and the pasta. The secret is good quality butter and cheese. I used freshly made fettuccine (see my recipe), but you can of course buy that if you’re short on time. Also buy the real deal Parmigiano Reggiano cheese for the ultimate flavour. Look for the best butter you can afford, grass fed dairy cow is the best. This fettuccine alfredo is smooth, silky and rich, making this pasta dish incredible. Fettuccine Alfredo is an Italian dish invented by Alfredo Di Lelio in Rome 1908 in a restaurant runned by his Mother Angelina which was not long after demolished for the construction of the Galleria Colonna. Alfredo later opened up the restaurant named Alfredo in 1914 in central Rome. Traditionally there is no cream, chicken or anything else in Alfredo’s recipe, it’s the cheese that thickens the sauce made from the butter and pasta water.

Great recipe Joel, that is the simplicity of italian cooking. Minimal ingredients of the highest quality you can obtain, and you have a winner. Very nice my friend.

How do you only have 170k subscribers!? No BS, quick-consumption style recipes with hella visuals and a sprinkle of ASMR-like audio on top of the music. Practical, and a pleasure to watch. This channel should/could/probably will eventually be MASSIVE.

Tried this just now! It's super flavorful!

For the pasta, I used Spinach Linguine while cooking it in chicken stock. Then added fresh basil at the end.

Joel...Your videos are like Kylie Flavell's videos, more like a movie or production than they typical YouTube video. A pleasure to watch. Bravo and grazie again for another fabulous recipe...I agree with every comment here...you're the best!

Nice and fresh. I worked for Stouffers hotels 35 yrs. ago. In one of their hotel cafe's. We prepared a Seafood fett. of scallops, shrimp, real crab, egg yolks, cream, Rom/Parm cheeses. $8 bowl. But, we could not use "home-made" pasta. That is where your recipe really 'stands-out'. I have come in contact with only 1 other person using "fresh"; he was a local independent Pharmacist when it came time to make "lasagna". Mr.J. thanx again, 'gad-day mate'🙋

I am in food heaven & you are the Chef. That fork full could have went directly into my mouth. You are a great Chef! Loved it!

[lokomase]

You're the best on this ol' YouTube. I love how you do things. You're so organized and neat. The food always look soooo good. I'm excited because I've been wanting some fettuccine, but every time I get some, it's too dry. With these instructions, I can do it myself.

[paulaajohnson]

Yum! It's also great made with Pecorino Romano cheese.

If I’ve recovered from an attack of Corona virus, if the doctor’s diagnosed I have a certain cancer, if I could invite my long-time-no-see friends for a home meal, I’d choose this recipe. Thanks Chef.
