I don't think you can teach a noodle to make anything.

>>9045939
Remember, authentic Roman alfredo uses no cream!

That sounds like garbage

>500g (1 lb.) of egg fettuccine (if you’re making homemade, use 5 eggs)
>250g (1/2 lb.) butter, preferably of the cultured “European style” type
>250g (1/2 lb.) freshly grated imported parmigiano-reggiano cheese
>Salt, to taste

Put a large pot, filled with water, on high heat. While the water is heating up, melt the butter in a skillet over very gentle heat, making sure that the butter just melts without coloring at all. Turn off the heat.

When the water comes to a boil, add a good pinch of salt and the noodles. Cook only until quite al dente, typically 2-3 minutes for store-bought fettuccine, a bit less for the freshly made kind.

Now drain and transfer the fettuccine to the skillet. Add a pinch of salt and mix vigorously with a fork and spoon, or with some long tongs. Add a handful of cheese and a ladleful of the pasta water and mix again, then more cheese and mix, until the cheese has been used up. Add a bit more pasta water if and when needed—the cheese should melt into a smooth, creamy sauce. It should not be at all watery, but the pasta should be ‘loose’ and slither around the pan easily.

Serve the fettuccine immediately, with additional grated cheese for those who want it. While not part of the original recipe, a fresh grinding of black pepper would not be amiss.

>make fettucine
>add alfredo sauce
was that so hard?

haha that old carbonara man meme


no cream!

Why would you want to make such a boring pasta?

>>9045939
its bacon and egg pasta. no real secrets.

>>9048681
No you dip shit. The person who invented Fettucine Alfredo was Roman. His name was Alfredo. It contained butter and cheese and that's it. It's not a meme. It's a fact.

>>9045939
Fettuccine alfredo is not a real Italian dish.

>>9048762
Nope. It's a fake anglo recipe. Just like "pasta bolognese".

The real recipe is pasta al burro e parmigiano.

>>9045939
The best way is to use a SHORT whole pasta to give the simple recipe more taste, use clarified butter and a seasoned Parmigiano vacche rosse.

Obviously you prepare the pasta al dente. DON'T ADD BUTTER DIRECTLY TO THE PASTA. If you do that it will never amalgamate with the pasta correctly. Then you prepare the Parmigiano in a bowl and slowly and gently mix it with some of the water you used to cook the pasta until you obtain a cream, at that point you add knobs of butter in the bowl together with the drained pasta and mix everything.

*the Parmigiano will never amalgamate with the pasta

it's the same fucking recipe you fucking retard

Fettuccine Alfredo (Italian pronunciation: [fettut'tʃiːne alˈfreːdo])[1] or fettuccine al burro is a pasta dish made from fettuccine tossed with Parmesan cheese and butter.[2][3][4] As the cheese melts, it emulsifies the liquids to form a smooth and rich sauce coating on the pasta.[2] In other words, it is pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese (Italian: pasta al burro e parmigiano), one of the oldest and simplest ways to prepare pasta. Alfredo Di Lelio gave it this name at his restaurants in Rome, in the early to mid 20th century
