Ingredients
  

  • 400 g Fettuccine or simila
  • 100 g Butter
  • 90 g Parmesan cheese
  • 2 Garlic cloves g
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • We can prepare the pasta and the sauce at the same time, so that they are ready at the same time. So, on the one hand, we are going to brown the garlic and the bay leaf in a large pot, with a drizzle of oil.
  • When they get color, add water and bring to boil. As soon as it starts to boil, add the pasta. Cook until al dente (the time will depend on whether you have chosen fresh or dry pasta, you can check the time needed on the package itself).
  • On the other hand, to prepare the sauce, we are going to put the butter in a frying pan, cut into small cubes so that it melts more easily.
  • When the butter is dissolved, add the grated cheese. Let both ingredients integrate, stirring.
    To bind the sauce, once the cheese has melted, add a couple of spoonfuls or three of the pasta cooking broth.
  • Mix until it is completely integrated, add a pinch of salt, to taste, a little pepper, and a little nutmeg.
  • Add the fettuccine or the pasta of your choice, previously drained, and mix well.
    Now you have ready some great Fettuccine Alfredo, delicious!

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

As you can see, the original and most traditional recipe is very simple to prepare. In fact, therein lies part of its magic, in its simplicity.
But, as with all recipes, you can add your personal touch. Since it admits many more ingredients. For example, there is no sauce to which a previous sofrito of onion would be bad.

We can also accompany the Alfredo sauce with many other ingredients, such as any type of meat or fish, diced.
As we say, use your imagination and make your own version of this dish. Remember that anything goes in the kitchen.

Who invented them?

And, to finish celebrating Fettuccine Alfredo Day, let’s see a little about its origin and history. In fact, this day has been marked in honor of its creator, Alfredo di Lelio.

Alfredo ran a family restaurant, where he worked together with his wife. The year was 1907, and Alfredo was expecting his first child. However, he was very worried about his pregnant wife’s lack of appetite.

Thinking over and over, he came up with a simple but delicious dish that would also be caloric enough to nourish his wife and the baby they were expecting.

Based on a similar recipe, Fettuccine al Burro, which was served with butter, he decided to add Parmesan cheese to add more nutrients and calories to the dish. His wife, as soon as she tasted it, was delighted with the dish, so they decided to include it in the menu of their restaurant.


With this we finish celebrating Fettuccine Alfred Day. And you, are you going to celebrate it? If you liked it, remember to leave us your comments, ideas, opinions… We love to read them!
