Answer 5

Here's your answer:

"Fettuccine alfredo is a pasta dish made from fettuccine pasta tossed with Parmesan cheese, butter, and heavy cream. As the cheese melts, it thickens the liquids to form a smooth and rich coating on the pasta. Although it was named by an Italian restaurateur, at his restaurant Alfredo alla Scrofa in Rome, it is largely an American dish, essentially the same as the Italian dish, Fettuccine al burro e panna meaning fettuccine with butter and cream; in Italy, the name 'Alfredo' is rarely used and the sauce is never named or prepared separately from the dish. In American cuisine, it is often mixed with other ingredients such as parsley, garlic, shrimp and chicken"

Answer 6

Maybuns has the right recipe.

If it doesn't have cream, butter and Parmesan cheese, it's not alfredo.    

Do not follow any recipe that calls for milk, cream cheese ....etc if you are looking for authenticity.

Answer 7

Fettuccini Alfredo

Ingredients

1 pound fettuccini

1/4 pound unsalted butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup of the best parmesan cheese you can get, Parmigiano Reggiano if possible, grate it yourself

Directions

Place the butter in a shallow serving dish over the pot the fettuccini water is heating in.

When it is melted add the warm cream, mix gently and stir in about 2/3 of the cheese.

Remove the serving dish from the pot, cook the fettuccini, drain, and pour immediately into the serving dish. Toss well.

Top with the remaining cheese, and serve immediately.

Note: You can use linguini if you want or fusili for a fun look. Don't use spaghetti, it won't hold the enough sauce.
