About Alfredo Pasta Recipes
Source (google.com.pk)
The original Fettuccine Alfredo recipe uses just butter and parmigiano reggiano, the "real" parmesan cheese. This is the version created nearly 100 years ago, in 1914 to be exact, by Alfredo de Lelio.
The story of this fettuccine alfredo recipe is well known, so if you have read it before, just skip the next few paragraphs...
Alfredo de Lelio at that time ran a restaurant in Rome called Alfredo alla Scorfa. His wife was pregnant and had had trouble keeping her food down. He whipped up this dish to get her eating again, and later served it to customers.
Actually, Alfredo de Lelio did not really "invent" this dish as the Italians had all along been tossing their pasta in cheese and butter or cream.
They would sometimes add butter before as well as after the fettuccine was tossed into the dish, in which case the butter would be called doppio burro, meaning "double butter". But what Alfredo de Lelio did was to double the amount of butter before adding the fettuccine, in effect creating a "triple" butter.
He also put his name to this Fettuccine Alfredo recipe.
Oh yes, and he did one more thing. He served it to some famous Hollywood stars Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, who visited his restaurant when they were honeymooning in Rome in 1927. The couple took the dish to Hollywood, served it to their friends... and that was how Fettuccine Alfredo became famous.
Unforunately, fame also led to countless adulteration and "bastardization" of this Fettucine Alfredo recipe. Today, you will find many different versions of this Fettuccine Alfredo recipe, made with milk, cream, half-and-half, etc, as well as containing other ingredients like chicken, shrimp and seafood.
The one time I ate Fettuccine Alfredo, very very long ago, must have been one of those adulterated versions. It didn't leave much of an impression and I never ordered the dish again even though, at one stage about 15 years ago, I ate at Italian restaurants fairly regularly.
Having now discovered the original Fettucinne Alfredo recipe, I don't mind eating it more often. Like many other authentic Italian pasta recipes, the appeal of this recipe lies in its simplicity.
Ingredients (serves 4 to 6):
1 lb (approx 450 grams) fresh, very thin fettucine
6 oz (approx 150 grams) unsalted butter
6 oz (approx 150 grams) Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese (aged 24 months), grated
Method:
Cook the fettuccine in plenty of rapidly boiling, salted water for three minutes.
While pasta is cooking, mix the cheese and butter in a bowl until the cheese almost dissolves, forming a smooth cream. If using a mixer, this should take less than three minutes.
Strain the pasta leaving just a small amount of water and toss the noodles with the butter/cheese mixture.
Notes:
As with all plain and simple recipes, such as spaghetti aglio olio, the success of this Fettuccine Alfredo recipe depends on the use of high quality ingredients. This is why fresh fettuccine is preferred here. At the Alfredo restaurants in Rome, the fettuccine is made fresh daily using three different types of durum flours and organic eggs. (I am no expert on durum flours, but I can tell you that organic eggs do taste better.)
The quality of the butter and cheese matters too. I have tried Italian butter (bought from Quattro Stagioni Deli at Liang Court) and it does taste quite different from the usual Australian / New Zealand varieties. Some of the French butters are very good as well. As for the cheese, make sure you get a genuine Parmiggiano Reggiano and not one of those modern Parmesan immitations.
If you find this dish too simple, add chicken, shrimp, seafood, etc. Try this Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo recipe. For something quite different but still in the same Fettucine Alfredo recipe style, try this spinach pasta dish.
