$1425 vs $13 Fettuccine Alfredo: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

  • Опубликовано: 13 май 2024
  • Professional chef instructor Frank Proto and home cook extraordinaire Emily are trading Fettuccine Alfredo recipes and hitting the kitchen for a cheesy showdown. We sent Emily an eye-popping $1,425 worth of supplies - everything she’d need to make Frank's decadent recipe, cheese wheel and all. Meanwhile, a modest $13 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way for Frank to finesse into something elevated in his style. Food scientist Rose dialed in to assist our dear Emily with a few questions she had along the way. Which Fettuccine Alfredo has you saying "Molto bene?"

    i think this is very important to note, if you are going to use a towel like he did make sure you dont use fabric softener in the dryer or air dry them, and id even go as far as not using fabric softener in the wash either, and use unscented soap. I made this mistake one time straining soup, wanted a broth as clear was water and i was like I'll just do it like the chefs at the restaraunt i worked at, and boom my soup tasted like april fresh downy with a hint of outdoor fresh bounce dryer sheets.

    Some time they should do the swap with two pro chefs like Esther and Frank, or Palak, and see what they do with each other's absurd ingredients. They would probably be very happy getting to actually make something extravagant.

    • @stevemanart
      @stevemanart 10 месяцев назад +69

      And if we're being historically accurate, the Alfredo recipe, just like spaghetti & meatballs and chicken parm, was invented in America by Italian immigrants that then found its way back to Italy. But becuase it is a food that could have existed before the establishment of the Atlantic trade route it feels like it has more history to it than it really does.

      It totally would depend on how one would use that , the principal of coating cheese on a pasta wheel is by adding alcohol and setting it aflame so that the cheese melts. So more the flame more cheese irrespective of your pasta's portion, you can use it till you reach the last few inches of the wheel cause below that is a layer of wax. Hope this helps

I am by no means a chef or a talented cook or baker, but my pastas are amazing. Especially my homemade alfredo sauce. It does not follow any standard recipe and i dont know if it can be called an alfredo, but i think after seeing this video i am going to tweak it by using some of that cheese in the video and the rinds to make the water. That coupled with the 7 cheese blend that i start with does indeed sound like a success. Not an italian bone in my Slavic body but for some reason i can do Italian dishes. Thats all i can do. I tried fillo dough once, never again. I am no baker and what i produce from my baking attempts should be considered criminal in nature.

    What the Chef did with the Pasta is what we did in Malaysia (especially in Johore) for our local noodle. The technique. We call it mee siput, but with different toppings. So it's not THAT whimsical. That looks delicious 😋😋
