American Pasta Alfredo

Cultural Context

Fettuccine Alfredo originated in Rome, where it was a simple dish of pasta, butter, and cheese. Italian immigrants brought this creamy delight to the United States, where it evolved into a richer version with heavy cream. Today, it's a staple in Italian-American cuisine, often enjoyed for its comforting flavors and creamy texture. Variations abound, with many adding chicken or vegetables to the mix, making it a versatile family favorite.

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous amount of salt.

2

Add the fettuccine pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions or until al dente.

3

Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.

4

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

5

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

6

Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

8

Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, being cautious with the salt due to the saltiness of the Parmesan.

9

Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the Alfredo sauce in the skillet and gently toss until well coated.

10

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

11

Transfer the creamy pasta Alfredo to serving plates or bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.
