Whats an authentic recipe for Alfredo sauce?
Hi- I’m looking for a truly authentic alfredo sauce recipe- some are mostly cream some have more cheese. Do you have a good recipe? Thanks, Alfredo Obsessed Dear Obsessed, Thanks for writing. Here is a recipe for Fettuccine alla Romana (more popularly called Fettuccine Alfredo) from Carlo Middione’s collection of pasta recipes. Truth be told, this isn’t a “true” Italian dish. It was created by Roman restaurateur Alfredo di Lello in the 1920s for the American palate. You’re more likely to find this famous dish in an American restaurant than in an Italian one. Here’s the recipe: 3/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus additional cheese for passing 1 lb. fresh or dried fettuccine Grating of fresh nutmeg or a generous pinch of dried nutmeg Freshly ground black or white pepper Place butter in a large, heavy frying pan and melt butter over very low heat. Bring the cream to room temperature or warmer. Cook pasta
