Classic 3 Ingredient Fettuccine Alfredo Recipes

TO DIE FOR FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add fettuccini and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter into cream over low heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic salt. Stir in cheese over medium heat until melted; this will thicken the sauce.
• Add pasta to sauce. Use enough of the pasta so that all of the sauce is used and the pasta is thoroughly coated. Serve immediately.

CLASSIC ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter or margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add heavy cream, stirring constantly. Stir in salt, nutmeg, grated Parmesan cheese, and grated Romano cheese. Stir constantly until melted, then mix in egg yolk. Simmer over medium low heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

3-INGREDIENT FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, beat butter and Parmesan until creamy.
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente, about 12 minutes. Reserve about 1/2 cup of cooking water; drain pasta.
• Return fettuccine to warm pot. Toss pasta with 1/2 teaspoon salt, cheese mixture, and 1/4 cup of the pasta water. Add more pasta water, as needed. Serve with additional cheese.

ELAINE'S FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring 6 quarts generously salted water to a boil.
• While the water heats, melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Whisk the cream with the egg yolk in a bowl until blended; pour into the garlic butter. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir until hot but not boiling. Keep warm over low heat.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta, partially covered, until al dente. (The pasta will float when it's done.) Drain in a colander, shaking out excess water, but reserve a little cooking water. Pour hot pasta into the cream mixture and toss to coat (still over low heat). Add the cheese and keep tossing gently until cream is mostly absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is absorbed too much, toss with a little pasta water. Serve in warm bowls.

CLASSIC FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Cook Noodles in salted water according to package directions, approx 10-15 minutes.
• Drain well and place in a container (chafing dish or skillet) large enough to allow enough room to toss slippery noodles without accident.
• Place over low heat or sterno.
• Add butter in several hunks to the noodles and stir gently until it melts and coats them well.
• Add the cream and stir in a generous amount of black pepper.
• (Use a peppermill here if you have one).
• Add the cheese, saving a small amount for later use on top of portions (Cheese is sometimes grated into the dish, but I like to have mine ready).
• Stir as mixture thickens and clings to noodles.
• Serve immediately.
• Pass the remaining cheese.
