You can't go wrong with the original recipe. Butter plus parmigiano (freaking Italian MSG) just make everything better. Hardly the most impressive dish, though. Having said that, I've tried a few pretty good fake "Alfredo" pasta dishes that use reasonable amounts of cream with other great ingredients and spices. The result ended up being better than the authentic version. It's just not Alfredo pasta! I guess restaurants make this kind of "Alfredo" because the sauce can be portioned, will easily keep in the fridge and can be used at a moment's notice.
@@자시엘-l1s if you have a brain you can use it to think of alternatives. Italian Squisita is a little more sophisticated, but even I can follow their recipes with normal kitchen equipment. Not rocket science
@@vincenzosplate your are a really funny/entertaining/pro chef I love the way you speak it relaxing I’m glad that I found you , also I only love Italian food and you made my favorite dish
For years my Alfredo was made with cream, garlic, cayenne pepper, broccoli, cheap parmesan cheese, and chicken AND the belief it was all Italian. I just made it your way and was completely blown away with the flavor, FAR better to leave all the other crap out and I'll never go back. I have been trying to make foods from different countries authentically but had no idea how badly far off my notion of Italian food was and how "Americanized" it is here without most of us, including myself, knowing it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the authentic Alfredo! 🍝🇮🇹 It's amazing how simple ingredients can make a world of difference. Keep exploring traditional Italian recipes, you'll love them! 👨🍳👍
OMG, you just blew my mind with this dish Vincenzo! I made it today following your instructions. Your technique of putting the bowl on the pot creates a 'double boiler' like what people use to melt chocolate. It converts the butter, pasta water, and cheese almost instantly to cream. Marvelous!!!
It is just cheap wet bread and tomatoes. Why don't they try cooking with something more significant. The funny part is, they are real snotty about it. They eat wet bread and tomatoes every day and call it a cuisine. No that is just the best dish eaten everyday.
@cowsmuggler1646 This recipe doesn’t even involve tomatoes, so your comment is pretty much braindead. It’s fine if you’re not a fan of Italian food, but don’t be an asshole about it. They protect their culture more than you protect yours, which is respectable.
Since watching your channel, my pasta game has definitely gone up a level! My children used to refuse the parmigiano reggiano every time. Ever since I've been making pasta this way, they absolutely love it now. Thank you very much.
Looking forward to your video! Tried to explain the history of fettuccini alla Alfredo to a friend once…. (She’s a chef), it was so funny when she told me I’m wrong! Ciao Czio Vincenzo! Challenge Czio Roger to make this without msg!
@@vincenzosplate growing up, this was what Nonna made when you said you were sick. This and homemade chicken soup. I think the reason most North Americans make a cheese Béchamel sauce is that they just don’t understand that the creaminess happens naturally.
@Max Powers actually, that’s not really true. You can reheat it with a bit of water and it’d just as creamy. I think they add cream/milk/bechamel simply because they didn’t understand how it was made.
@@tanzanite8908 no, we just prefer a richer, more flavorful sauce. Anyone can make buttered pasta. Alfredo sauce takes more care. It doesn't matter if you use the highest quality butter and cheese... It's still pretty bland and basic to use only butter and cheese. For example, we prefer more cream and more seasonings for this dish. A thicker consistency is just better. Tbh, this isn't even Alfredo. They don't call it that in Italy, as he said. So idk why he is comparing the two. Also, the recipe he's talking about is really supposed to have Pecorino Romano. Not Parmigiano Reggiano.
@@jeannieeilers8080 exactly. We ate the Italian version when we were kids when we had nothing else but butter and parmesan cheese. It is normal thing for Italian american families. Europeans can be quite food elitists sometimes 🤣. Us Americans just put a twist on it. My german friends actually like the American version better 🤷♀️
My wife requested "real Alfredo like Vincenzo was talking about." I have to follow my own heart, though, and use Pecorino Romano. Thank you for these videos, and the window you give us to see the way Italian culture cherishes ingredients. Most of us in America only know Italian food from the dense, heavy, over-seasoned third-hand New York Italian hand-me-downs you get at restaurants that used canned marinara. I'm learning that real Italian food is an art in technique, minimal touch, and it's an art that I'm falling in love with.
I am so honoured that your wife used me as her reference on how she'd like her pasta dishes to be. This is so amazing, I feel so appreciated. You are absolutely welcome, brother; I hope you continue to learn and grow to become a better cook than you are now. Keep up the good work, I am rooting for you. And tell your wife I said Hi!
My wife and I are both so flattered to read your words; I was able to stay my hand on the Pecorino Romano knowing that I'll be doing your Cacio y Pepe, and I am pleased to say that the Alfredo, done your way, is a true delicacy. It showcased the character of the Parmigiano Reggiano, as though the pasta took the salt away from the funk of the cheese and allowed me to experience the flavors more deeply, like the first time I had Genoa Salami shaved thinly enough for the fats to melt on the tongue.
Bro this has to be the best Italian cooking channel ever! It’s super reliable and it shows you how to make Italian dishes the correct way for people that has huge support for Italy, like me! Thank you again for making these videos!
@@vincenzosplateOf course! Italian cuisine really changed my life and I am proud of it! I’m just confused about the fact that you replied to this comment after 2 months! lol
Wow! It is Friday morning in CH and this video will be shown on Sunday afternoon. There are already more than 100 thumbs up! The Followers must love you r videos and you, Vincenzo!!
I just made it! OMG its another level… its fulfilling , creamy and such a pleasure to your tasting palette.. will never do it with cream anymore… thank you vincenzo for this recipe 😋😋😋😋
There is nothing better than parmigiano reggiano!I cut an 80’pound wheel of it every week working in my cheese shop.I love your videos because it helps me to better serve my customers sharing what knowledge you pass down to your audience.Parmigiano Reggiano and Taleggio are my two favorite Italian cheeses.Grana Padano just doesn’t compare to Reggiano.
I agree that Grana Padano doesn't quite compare to Parmigiano Reggiano. Parmigiano Reggiano has a richer, more complex flavor, and it's also more expensive. But Grana Padano is still a good cheese, and it's a good option if you're looking for something less expensive. I'm also a big fan of Taleggio. It's a semi-soft cheese with a nutty, earthy flavor. It's perfect for snacking or for adding to pasta dishes.
Hi Vincenzo! I appreciate you for showing that Italian food is simple yet delicious! Other chefs or cooks add too many ingredients and it feels overwhelming! You cut out the unnecessary steps and I appreciate it.
We use quality ingredients that is why we are not afraid of creating simple dishes, the taste and the quality will be the judge of that. You should give this recipe a try and let me know how it goes!
I made this recipe and followed it 100%. Now I make my own paste. Who knew it was so easy to make if you have good directions. My family and simply loved it so much. You are so good at these meals. We love your recipes. I’m glad I found you on RUclips. Thank you so much.
My local cheese source is pretty good, considering we're 2000km from Italy, here in far north of UK. But the store isn't comprehensive. I can get 36 month Parmesan, Grana Padano (12 month), and Peccorino Romano. I try to keep all 3 in my fridge. I decided I wanted to make this, and I've watched about a dozen YT chefs, and made this about 12 times now. My observations: 1. The bowl on the pot technique is pure gold. It's the difference between serving a hot meal and luke-warm, and makes the mixing process much easier. I tried taking the bowl off when Vincenzo does, but forgot a couple of times, and that makes the cheese melting easier, and I didn't notice any difference in taste. I guess he's taking it off to guard against the cheese curdling, and I suppose it would if it was too hot, but my gas hob kills the heat when I switch off, and I spend a long time tossing the pasta in butter because its straight from fridge. It's working for me to leave it on until the end. 2. 100% 36 month parmesan was too much for my taste buds. It worked better with a 50/50 mix of the strong parmesan and the milder grana padano. Your taste may be different 3. At the end, Vincenzo says you can make it with Peccorino Romano. I did. It works. But it's radically different. Peccorino is sharper... I'm not sure if that's the right word... 4. In writing this, I realised I'm preferring the Parmesan and Grana Padano because they produce a cows milk sauce that's closer to a British macaroni cheese made with our local cheddar, (as I grew up with). I guess that one's a similar story, with Brits having appropriated the dish at some point... Just checked - Woah! There's a whole ancient history to explore of macaroni making it into the English speaking world. Back to the 14th Century. In that 14th C recipe, the ingredients were simply pasta, butter and cheese, (and some spices).
I'm thrilled to hear that my lemon pasta made such an impact! It's always a pleasure to share delicious recipes that leave a lasting impression. Feel free to explore more mouthwatering dishes on my channel. Happy cooking! 🍋🍝
The more videos of yours I watch, the more I realize that Americans can’t call Italian food, Italian. That looks delicious!! Can’t wait to try it 🧡. Thanks for teaching us the correct way to cook Italian.
Vincenzo, this was the first of your recipes that I made, and since then I have to just say that my cooking has improved tenfold by learning from your content, grazie mille per avermi aiutato a imparare a cucinare
It's great to hear that you've improved your cooking skills through my videos. Keep up the good work and enjoy making more delicious Italian recipes! 🍝👨🍳
I made the aglio & olio spaghetti you made in an earlier video. I don't have fresh garlic, so I used chopped garlic in water from the store. I used to always cook on high heat everything. I cooked this on medium with lots of olive oil and a bit of water. No burning. Then, I added the cooked spaghetti to the pan for another minute and added more olive oil. It was delicious! 😊
You've tempted me into making my own pasta, not that I expect to get the same results LOL! I thought the difference in using cream versus butter was interesting. Although technically, butter is just cream and salt anyway, it is far easier to store/ freeze/ preserve butter reliably, so that is a great advantage. I love cooking with cream sauces, but availability of cream is sometimes an issue and could be more of an issue going forward. Great to see such a simple, but stunning recipe, letting the ingredients shine. Thank you, great video.
My grandmother was adopted and raised by an Italian family taught anybody that would listen this exact recipe though she'd get mad if you tried to use a fork while making the dough! Absolutely love this recipe best comfort food I could ask for
Great Vincenzo You're great, keep it up!!! It's very popular because when you don't have time or desire to cook or you haven't had a good time, it's cooked in every Italian home and it's called "Pasta al Burro", "Pasta in Bianco" or "Pasta with butter and cheese"... It is so simple and basic that no restaurant would ever offer it on the menu Greetings from Italy...
Thank you for your post! So tired of seeing the cream cheese, sour cream and other 'best recipes' for Fettucine Alfredo out there. This is the real deal that I grew up eating and making
I tried to make my own pasta. It was very MESSY! I had no way to get my noodles so thin without the machine, but it was DELISCIOUS. I had no idea noodles were that easy to make.
Ciao Vincenzo! Great video as usual! I challenge you to make spaghetti all'assassina. Just to see an italian mistreating pasta while making an italian dish :D
Thank you for reminding us that great flavor doesn’t require a ton of ingredients! This is absolutely the best (and right) recipe! But… in fairness to all the people who love the “complicated” recipes out there, I think what they’re really wanting is not just a light coating of the cream achieved with butter, parmigiano reggiano and pasta water… they are wanting a lot of thick heavy “alfredo”sauce. To each his own! 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's true, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to pasta sauces. I personally believe in keeping things simple and letting the ingredients shine, but I understand the appeal of a creamy Alfredo sauce. To each their own indeed! 🍝🤷♂️
@@vincenzosplate I'm with you - when we keep it simple, the ingredients dance across our tongues, tickling our tastebuds and bringing us joy with every bite!
Hi Vincenzo!! I just discovered your channel and am addicted! I was hoping you might tell me where you got the big dish you put the pasta on? I would love to get one! Thank you!!
I am making this tonight!! I watch all your videos and also pasta grammar. Okay and also Not Another Cooking Show. I have become obsessed with the way you guys cook!! Obsessed!!!! Unfortunately I am not making the Fresh pasta tonigh 😢 I am using de cecco linguine (because my store didn’t have the fettuccine). So I am faking it I guess. But I’m trying this sauce recipe!! I am also going to make your new pistachio sauce this week as well!! 🤗🤗 but again not making the fresh pasta 😢. I hope I don’t disappoint you this week, and also tonight!! But time constraints for me prohibit me from making fresh pasta. I will though in the future!!! And I so hope I can make you proud!!!!!
@@vincenzosplate I cooked homemade tagliatelle cacio e pepe with pecorino pepato from Sicily, absolutely phenomenal! Thank you Italy for providing so excellent cheese to the world
You're very welcome! 👨🍳 I'm thrilled to hear that your homemade Fettuccine Alfredo turned out so well, even without a machine. Keep up the fantastic cooking, and if you ever have more questions or need recipes, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🍝👌😊
Pretty decent result, like the carbonara a little too watery for me, I'd use a little bit less of pasta water, I think should be enough to emulsify the sauce properly. Love the pasta homemaking btw
Best channel ever for real Italian food. Love to watch and try these meals. The carbonara is great. Can’t wait to try the Arachinni 😊 hope I spit that right
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I'm thrilled to hear that you love the channel and have enjoyed the carbonara recipe. Arancini is a delicious Sicilian dish, and I hope you enjoy making and eating them. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍝👨🍳😋👍
Your Pasta is perfectly cooked. You can see as you turn it it is nice and al dente. You are such a fantastic cook and thank you for sharing. The parmigiano Reggiano absolutely makes this dish.
@@vincenzosplate yes I have and I made it just like you. Although, I have to admit I did not make fresh pasta. I do make fresh homemade whole wheat bread and Ryebread. I grind my own wheat berries into flour.

Do you like to make this dish with cream or do you prefer to turn parmigiano reggiano into cream?
Make it with mushrooms
I like the Italian version , no cream
I've tried both, I definitely like the italian version more! 😍
No chicken? ;)
You can't go wrong with the original recipe. Butter plus parmigiano (freaking Italian MSG) just make everything better. Hardly the most impressive dish, though.

You are the only person that has made an Alfredo that looks good in my eyes.
oh yes it is delicious, you should try it!
Put enough 'authentic' parsley and everything is good 🤗
I agree, I've always thought Alfredo looked and tasted so gross. I'm trying this recipe though!
Im not a pasta eater!! But when my girls want it i like to make it most authentic posible!!! This is totally game changer!!! Thank you
I was taught to make it like you. I don't like the cream way. It's heavy, goopy, and disgusting! Thank you for making it the right way. 💖🥰💖
My pleasure 😊 Please try this recipe soon and let me know 😍
I love the simplicity of this, can't wait to cook it for my family!
Hope you enjoy 🤩
My grandmother was adopted and raised by an Italian family taught anybody that would listen this exact recipe though she'd get mad if you tried to use a fork while making the dough! Absolutely love this recipe best comfort food I could ask for
How wonderful! 🥰👏 Family recipes are precious heirlooms. Cherish the tradition, and may it continue to bring you comfort! Happy cooking! 👨🍳🇮🇹🍝
I saw your channel through Uncle Roger... glad I found it! Love all your Italian dishes! Keep them coming! Making this dish tonight!
Welcome aboard! Have you made this recipe? 😍
This is a real pleasure to see you cooking Italian dishes the right way….and to see you destroy other fake Italian recipes 😂
It's a balance, teaching the proper techniques, calling out the bad recipes, and also making amazing recipes that you guys will surely love.
Finally, a demonstration of pasta making that doesn't make it seem overly intimidating or ridiculously unnecessary. Thank you.
my pleasure! 🙏🏻
Looks wonderful! I have already made it at home, but never with fresh pasta.
oh I'm sure you will love it made with fresh pasta 😍
@@vincenzosplate Hi Vincenzo, do you recommend the pasta machine you're using? If yes, please tell me the brand I would like to buy one. Thanks
@@DonS020 thanks
Great Vincenzo
You're great, keep it up!!!
It's very popular because when you don't have time or desire to cook or you haven't had a good time, it's cooked in every Italian home and it's called "Pasta al Burro", "Pasta in Bianco" or "Pasta with butter and cheese"...
It is so simple and basic that no restaurant would ever offer it on the menu
Greetings from Italy...
My kids are gonna love this recipe when I copy it. 😋 Thanks Vincenzo
oh yes I'm sure they will love it 😋
I Just tried this recipe now and WOW , Fantanstico !!! Thank you so much Vincenzo for sharing this wonderful recipe.
I just made this for my wife for her birthday , she thinks I'm some sort of master chef now.
What a wonderful birthday surprise! Keep impressing with your culinary skills! 🎉👨🍳🎂
😂😂😂😂
Thank you for your post! So tired of seeing the cream cheese, sour cream and other 'best recipes' for Fettucine Alfredo out there. This is the real deal that I grew up eating and making
You're absolutely right! 🙌 The authentic way is the way to go for a truly delicious Fettucine Alfredo. 🍝🇮🇹 Grazie for appreciating the tradition! 😊👍
I tried to make my own pasta. It was very MESSY! I had no way to get my noodles so thin without the machine, but it was DELISCIOUS. I had no idea noodles were that easy to make.
Thank you, Vincenzo, for sharing the real traditional Italian recipes :) You cook with love and it's inspiring :)
Ciao Vincenzo!
Great video as usual!
I challenge you to make spaghetti all'assassina.
Just to see an italian mistreating pasta while making an italian dish :D
Thanks for the idea! 🙏🏻
Thank you Vincenzo!! Because of your videos I’m able to recreate your recipes and BOY!! They are delicious ❤
You're very welcome! I'm thrilled you're enjoying the recipes. Keep cooking and savoring those delicious flavors! Grazie mille! 🍽️🇮🇹
Vince, please don't get the wrong idea. I love your Chanel. Grazie mille ciao franco
No worries, brother!
i learned this from the channel pasta grammar as well. we really complicated such a simple dish
Amazing , I love your cooking
thank you so much 🙏🏻
You have rescued me from washing the pot for 30 mins and it turned out way better.Thank you so much! :)
Thanks for sharing your experience with my recipe! Hope you keep enjoying my channel 🙌🏻👨🍳
Thanks for sharing this recipe. I followed your recipe and it tasted amazing~!
oh, many thanks to you! I'm glad you tried and loved the recipe 😋 yum
Thank you for reminding us that great flavor doesn’t require a ton of ingredients! This is absolutely the best (and right) recipe!
But… in fairness to all the people who love the “complicated” recipes out there, I think what they’re really wanting is not just a light coating of the cream achieved with butter, parmigiano reggiano and pasta water… they are wanting a lot of thick heavy “alfredo”sauce.
To each his own! 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's true, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to pasta sauces. I personally believe in keeping things simple and letting the ingredients shine, but I understand the appeal of a creamy Alfredo sauce. To each their own indeed! 🍝🤷♂️
@@vincenzosplate I'm with you - when we keep it simple, the ingredients dance across our tongues, tickling our tastebuds and bringing us joy with every bite!
Your videos make me hungry even after lunch!
oh wow 😍
Hi Vincenzo!! I just discovered your channel and am addicted! I was hoping you might tell me where you got the big dish you put the pasta on? I would love to get one! Thank you!!
ciao! Welcome aboard 🙏🏻 Well I do not remember where I get the plate, I'm sorry!
@@vincenzosplate no worries! Thank you for replying!
So easy and tasty, I'm making this tonight for the whole family. Thank you Vincenzo!
Have fun!
I am making this tonight!! I watch all your videos and also pasta grammar. Okay and also Not Another Cooking Show. I have become obsessed with the way you guys cook!! Obsessed!!!!
Unfortunately I am not making the Fresh pasta tonigh 😢 I am using de cecco linguine (because my store didn’t have the fettuccine). So I am faking it I guess. But I’m trying this sauce recipe!!
I am also going to make your new pistachio sauce this week as well!! 🤗🤗 but again not making the fresh pasta 😢. I hope I don’t disappoint you this week, and also tonight!! But time constraints for me prohibit me from making fresh pasta. I will though in the future!!! And I so hope I can make you proud!!!!!
Made fresh pasta for the first time and followed your fettuccine Alfredo recipe. Fantastico 👏
I'm glad you enjoyed it! What recipes are you planning on recreating next?
@@vincenzosplate Carbonara 😄havent tried it yet.
I love this channel Vincenzo is amazing, learned a lot from him!
Glad you're enjoying it! Cooking with passion makes all the difference. Keep experimenting in the kitchen! 🍝🔥
It's 4:00am when I'm writing this comment, this video makes me hungry.
Thanks for watching and commenting! 🤗 I hope you had a chance to satisfy your hunger after watching the video!
@@vincenzosplate I cooked homemade tagliatelle cacio e pepe with pecorino pepato from Sicily, absolutely phenomenal! Thank you Italy for providing so excellent cheese to the world
Thank you Mr. Vincenzo. I love your authentic Italian “ Fettuccine Alfredo “ from the scratch. It’s simple and simple to made.
Have you tried to recreate this dish?
I like the main photo for this video. Makes me hungry 🤣
coming really soon 😍
For real 😋
Made it. Without a machine it was a little taxing but was the best Fettuccine Alfredo I ever had. Thank you for the great video.
You're very welcome! 👨🍳 I'm thrilled to hear that your homemade Fettuccine Alfredo turned out so well, even without a machine. Keep up the fantastic cooking, and if you ever have more questions or need recipes, feel free to ask. Buon appetito! 🍝👌😊
ordering a pasta roller immediately!!! I love your videos. keep it up!
Awesome! Thank you! ❤
And you are the best pasta making teacher I have found online. Thank you ❤
Oh jeez, I highly appreciate that!
Pretty decent result, like the carbonara a little too watery for me, I'd use a little bit less of pasta water, I think should be enough to emulsify the sauce properly. Love the pasta homemaking btw
of course you can add less pasta water!
my favorite food is Italian food, thank you so much for this recipe!
My pleasure 😊
Really great videos and person! Love it! ❤️❤️❤️
You are so kind🙏🏻 grazie mille
Best channel ever for real Italian food. Love to watch and try these meals. The carbonara is great. Can’t wait to try the Arachinni 😊 hope I spit that right
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 I'm thrilled to hear that you love the channel and have enjoyed the carbonara recipe. Arancini is a delicious Sicilian dish, and I hope you enjoy making and eating them. Buon appetito! 🇮🇹🍝👨🍳😋👍
Amazing job Vicenzo
thank you so much! Have you ever made Alfredo Pasta?
Finally came across all the ingredients today and can't wait to try it out. Never made home made pasta but after watching this I'm giving it a shot.
Exciting! Homemade pasta is a game-changer. Enjoy the process and the delicious results! 🍝👩🍳
Your Pasta is perfectly cooked. You can see as you turn it it is nice and al dente. You are such a fantastic cook and thank you for sharing. The parmigiano Reggiano absolutely makes this dish.
wow, you're so kind Julie 🙏🏻❤ thank you a lot!
Have you ever made Alfredo pasta?
@@vincenzosplate yes I have and I made it just like you. Although, I have to admit I did not make fresh pasta. I do make fresh homemade whole wheat bread and Ryebread. I grind my own wheat berries into flour.
Vincenzo all your dishes are amazing! Thanks for sharing all that Italian goodness! I’ve learned so much from your videos! Especially how to do Italian the right way!
I'm delighted that you enjoy them. Share this fantastic recipe with your family and friends, or better yet, cook it for them. Because, as everyone says, good food is fuel for the soul!
Remember to like and follow us!
Thank you for teaching us how to use a pasta maker. I felt intimidated by them. I'm going to buy one now...
Glad it was helpful 🙏🏻

Just made this. Absolutely delicious!
