Fettuccine Alfredo
RECIPE COURTESY OF GIADA DE LAURENTIIS
Level: Easy
Total: 20 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

18 ounces fresh fettuccine
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
12 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground white pepper

Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain. Stir 2 cups of the cream and the lemon juice in a heavy large skillet to blend. Add the butter and cook over medium heat just until the butter melts, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add the pasta and toss. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cream, and Parmesan to the cream sauce in the skillet. Add the lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Toss the pasta mixture over low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.

    You don’t put lemon juice in Alfredo sauce. Even the Olive Garden recipe doesn’t have that.

    Here is another one who understands nothing of Italian cuisine. Look at the absurd amount of cream. And the lemon! The lemon in fettuccine Alfredo! And the butter! How much did she put in? At least two pounds. Not surprisingly, most Americans are obese and have heart problems. They eat pure cholesterol.
    And look at the end! That is not a plate of pasta. That is a plate of glue that can only be enjoyed by an ignorant Yankee

    This video brought back a lot of fond memories BUT?
    Coming to terms with what passes as “Italian” in the US has been an exercise in patience.
    “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.
    In Italy, this way of making pasta is often referred to as pasta del cornuto – which translates as “cuckold’s pasta”
    The even more popular way of serving pasta alfredo in the US – with Chicken ,Shrimp – 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).
    Sorry .Fettuccine Alfredo: original recipe from the Alfredo alla Scrofa Restaurant in Rome

    A splash of crème sherry, and a dash of nutmeg goes really well with the dish. I like Parmesan Regianno better than just regular Parmesan myself. Try it with the sherry, and nutmeg makes it taste like professional restaurant quality.

    If you go to Olive Garden a Italian Restaurant. They put lemon in their Alfredo. And not sure what Alfredo you've been eating but it has cream.

  12. Dave Knight

    shouldn't you start with the butter to make a rue?
    perhaps I'm wrong, but this recipe sounds bad from the start.

  21. Chris Carrol

    People have said she always has a spit bucket out of camera view and never actually swallows and that's how she puts lots in her mouth each show but never gains weight. I'm a guy that well just sounds wrong.

    It would be better if the title of the video was "lemon fettuccine alfredo". Btw, I once made Alfredo pasta and added lemon zest and juice to try something different, and I really loved it, it tastes so fresh and delicious.
