Allrecipes member erinmarie created this recipe for to-die-for fettuccine alfredo by modifying her mother’s recipe she says my boyfriend is a fettuccine alfredo connoisseur and he scrapes the pan every time and she adds I get nothing but rave reviews for this dish we’ll start by bringing a large pot of

Lightly salted water to a boil add 24 ounces that’s one and a half pounds of dry fettuccine pasta cook it for eight to ten minutes or until it’s al dente once the pasta has cooked we’ll drain it but while it’s still cooking let’s make the sauce place your largest saucepan

Over low heat you want a saucepan that has deep enough sides to hold all the pasta add 3/4 of a pint that’s one and a half cups of heavy cream then add one cup that’s two sticks of softened butter break the butter up into smaller pieces

And use a spoon to incorporate it slowly cook and stir the cream until the butter is melted then add a bit of salt A dash of garlic salt or garlic powder and black pepper to taste add 3/4 of a cup of grated Romano cheese and half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese stir well over medium heat until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth the cheese actually thickens the sauce drain

The cooked pasta in a colander and add the pasta to the sauce toss it well until the pasta is thoroughly coated and serve it immediately if you have leftover fettuccine alfredo just microwave it on a low setting adding a little extra cream if needed but fair warning there might not be any leftovers

  1. Wayyyyyyy too much butter. totally unnecessary unless you want to get a heart attack in 5 years

  2. I'm 13 years old and idk how to cook so I found this recipe and i made soon my family got home and ate some and said it was so delicious thanks very much for the recipe

  3. I've made this recipe several times except for I have never used romano, only parmesan, and I add shrimp at the end that I previously cooked in olive oil, little butter and lots of fresh minced garlic. Also, Italian parsley of course on top.

  4. Delicious heart desease alfredo pasta. Must be delicious but daaaaamn! cream and 2 sticks of butter?! Nooo

  5. You lost me at garlic salt, also no parsley? Come on man, it's an easy dish anyway, why halfass it?. Fry or boil chicken, cook pasta (any type) toss butter into a sauce pan on medium heat then toss garlic in once it melts, then after a few minutes add heavy cream, then once that heats up add grated cheese, parmasean is necesssary, but you can add cheddar or your favorite cheeses as well, stir and let simmer and make sure everything is melted…pepper and salt are optional. put that crap on any type of pasta and watch your dreams come true.

  6. My sauce separates: the butter, cheese, and heavy cream are distinguishable. Is this supposed to happen and is there a way to prevent it?

  7. This is a cop-out. Frankly, it’s easy to make anything delicious with cream, butter and cheese. Voila: heart-attack-and-blocked-arteries on your plate! Happy by-pass..

  8. You should no That “Fettuccine Alfredo are not a thing in Italy,” but in
    the US it has become a staple in many restaurants that brand themselves
    Italian. In Italy, the dish is most similar to what Italians call pasta
    burro e parmiggiano (pasta with butter and parmesan cheese). Italians
    eat this, but at home, and would never dream of ordering it in a
    restaurant, t in Italy, this way of making pasta is often referred to as
    pasta del cornuto – which translates as “cuckold’s pasta”, because
    making it betrays an absence of time or care put into the simple meal,
    The even more popular way of serving pasta Alfredo in the US – with
    chicken – is beyond imaginable. It is not just poultry and pasta that
    are not allowed to mix – meat and pasta very rarely make it on to the
    same plate. Pasta is one course (primo) and meat is another, fully
    separate course (secondo). Please watch How to Make Fettuccine Alfredo @
    The real Italian food, that you can find in Italy, is very different
    from the Italian-American one. Here in Italy we don't know a lot of
    recipes that you define "traditional", such as spaghetti with meatballs
    or fettuccine alfredo. We don't even know what a chicken parmigiana is!
    We don't have this recipe, but if we had, it probably would be called
    "chicken alla pizzaiola" (because the sauce reminds the topping of a
    pizza). We have "melanzane alla parmigiana" which is a recipe made with
    eggplant, not with chicken.

  9. wrong: there is no cream in real alfredo ; / It's just: parmesan, butter, pasta water to incorporate. Alfredo is NOT a sloppy cream sauce.

  10. Made this dish several times and yep it never disappoints. Will make it again this weekend but I think my grandkids would want chicken and mushroom in it. Thank you I love this dish.
