The real Alfredo sauce

I’m standing on business and saying once you make it Alfredo di Lello’s way, the authentic way, you won’t go back to the heavy cream. And it’s mad easy, so fresh, and worth adding to your arsenal the next time you wanna be an Alfredo Warrior. Recipe below ⬇️ #roman #pasta #alfredo #fettuccine #italy #easy #technique

Ingredients! (serves 2)

👉🏽 8 T unsalted butter, cubed
👉🏽 1 c grated Parmesan cheese
👉🏽 1-ish c of hot pasta water
👉🏽 1 pound pasta
👉🏽 salt and pepper to taste
👉🏽 parsley, chopped (optional)

Procedure!

1. Butter in a big bowl or frying pan.
2. Add half of the parmesan cheese on top of the butter.
3. Cook ya pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water. Drain the pasta (saving some of the water) and add it to the bowl with the butter and parmesan cheese.
4. Pour in about ½ cup of hot pasta water into the bowl/pan. Gently toss the pasta or use tongs to mix, basically just move it a lot to emulsify all the ingredients. While tossing, sprinkle in the rest of the parmesan cheese. If you want it creamier, add more pasta water!
5. Lastly, add salt and pepper to taste. I like extra parmesan cheese on top and chopped parsley bc hello garnish!

That’s nice I just I really love making pasta you just do it by hand but I mean why not use a pasta attachment when I have one you know what I’m saying going to bring some water to a boil at a healthy pinch of salt it’s important to

Have a rolling boil when you make pasta so that the noodles are constantly agitated if they just sit they’re going to stick parsley is not authentic but I mean I want some green I need a garnish by just dropping the butter in the pan all you got to do is add parmesan cheese

Just add your noodles to your pan with the cheese and the butter all my fresh noodles I’m going to add just a little bit of pasta water to help me melt all of that cheese and butter down moving moving moving we’re going to toss in some more of that

Cheese we’re getting there we here with just a touch of salt a little bit of black pepper my pasta water was salty which is why I went easy on the additional salt at this stage
