What Is Fettuccine Alfredo?
Fettuccine Alfredo is a popular pasta dish made with fettuccine, a thick flat egg noodle, tossed with a sauce made from butter, cream and cheese. A number of recipes call for the addition of an egg to increase the viscosity and richness of the sauce. Some recipes are made lighter by replacing the cream with milk and using starch instead of cheese to thicken the sauce. Fettuccine Alfredo may be served alone or mixed with vegetables, poultry or seafood.
