Alfredo Fettuccine Pasta

Cultural Context

Originating from Rome, Fettuccine Alfredo was created in the early 20th century by Alfredo di Lelio, who sought to create a rich and creamy pasta dish for his wife. The dish quickly gained popularity among American tourists and has since become a staple in Italian-American cuisine. Today, variations abound, with many adding chicken or shrimp for extra protein, but the classic version remains a beloved comfort food.

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

Prepare 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy cream by measuring out 1 cup and then adding a half cup immediately after.

2

Press 3 garlic cloves using a plastic bag and a knife to remove the skins.

3

Boil water in a pot and add the fettuccine noodles, cooking until al dente.

4

In a pan, melt butter over medium heat and add the pressed garlic, cooking for about 2 minutes.

5

Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream to the pan.

6

Add 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese to the cream and stir constantly until it melts and the sauce thickens.

7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning by adding more parmesan cheese and garlic salt or garlic powder if needed.

Combine the sauce with the cooked fettuccine noodles by tossing them together in the pan.
