Do you remember the names of the restaurants? I lived there but was a child in the 70s but I remember a place that would make Caesar salad at the table side. It was the best Caesar salad I ever had!
Making sure the pan is not hot that you combine them in is most crucial, if the pan is hot the cheese will break down instead of turning into cream. Great recipe here
yes, it will separate into a stringy super sticky gum like consistency. Even if the pasta itself is too hot when the grated cheese is added will do that. That is the real secret after using the starchy pasta water is to allow the everything to cool to the correct temp before adding the cheese.
I am Italian, I'm amazed. I've never believed americans could prepare pasta properly, I've watched all your videos you're doing great! You're doing even better than many chefs, you're unbelievable
awildrabbit1914. Fake ! Italian pasta comes from the romans and other mediterranean peoples, all the encyclopedias, all the serious sources say it, the Vincenzo's Plate channel and others channels talks about it, Marco Polo even said that chinese pasta was good like italian pasta. tsssss !
Tried this recipe last night. Normally my fiancee generally only likes extremely creamy Alfredo, butter, milk, cream, cheese. She said this was just as good as the extremely creamy one. This is super helpful because I don't need 6 ingredients to make this... Just have to make sure I have parmesan cheese and ill have this on hand to make at a moments notice. Also the required prep/cook time is so short compared to the other sauce I can have a stress free night cooking. The reason I think the cream version is so common is because its easier to make in bulk (for restaurants). You can make a entire pot of sauce to scoop onto a plate of noodles. This version has to be made to order every time so in some restaurants it might be overwhelming. At home on the other hand this is super easy and delicious it will be one of my go to pasta dishes now... along with weekday sauce and cacio e pepe
I'm a home cook, family used to be in restaurants but cooking is one of my favorite hobbies. I must have cooked an alfredo sauce 100 times, from everything with heavy cream, egg yolk, nutmeg, garlic, regular milk, you name it. Earlier this year I started finding videos of authentic Italian cooking that started with carbonara, made that, loved it. Then I looked for alfredo and found the restaurant that makes it but no recipie. any way, listen to this man. This 3 ingredient fettuccine Alfredo is the best recipie by far, I would actually add pepper though. Pasta water is Italy's strength
If you add pepper, it's funny how close this is, ingredient-wise, to cacio e pepe. The addition of butter and different cheese still makes it worlds apart somehow.
This is exactly why I love the italian kitchen. I grew up with peruvian cuisine and italian food is almost the exact opposite of it: few ingredients, relatively easy to make, precise process. The results are dishes that are just as delicious. It's an absolute joy cooking both countries' dishes and this channel helped me so much in both cooking italian food and appreciating italian culture. Just...thank you man
That's not an Italian recipe, but the most important it follows the same Italian Rules for cooking. I think italians who came to Usa to live there created it, anyway it looks similar to 'Burro e Parmigiano' and 'Cacio e Pepe'. This guy is making a great job showing a health food culture, with few ingredients you can make a great recipe if you know the rules.
Made this for the first time this afternoon for my daughter after seeing another video a long time ago. Had some pasta I made and dried. She was definitely a fan. Made myself a bowl a little while ago and it’s such a perfect recipe. Nothing but respect to the past kitchen magicians.
@Crazy Jesse Goes without saying. Like Kraft mac and cheese, not real. Kraft singles, not real. Velveeta, not real. If you enjoy this youtube channel, you already know this.
This is the ONLY Alfredo video on RUclips worth watching and trying tbh. Tried and failed every other way, this is so simple, straightforward, and easy to master. Hats off
I'm going to try this method the next time I attempt alfredo sauce. I watched several videos for alfredo sauce without cream, but this one seemed risky to me, so I didn't try this method. Watching this particular video, I thought adding the grated cheese on top of the buttery pasta would result in clumps, but perhaps just the little bit of residual water from the pasta and all the butter was just enough to smooth out the sauce. I tried a different method which had me add pasta water first and then melt butter into it, and then slowly add in the parmesan cheese. My sauce turned out clumpy. Adding cheese to any water-based sauce doesn't seem like it would work well, but it worked fine in the other videos I watched. In one video, the lady added the cheese very slowly, which might have made the difference. There's a reason that most Alfredo sauces made in the United States have cream or milk. I will make one more attempt at a creamless sauce before giving up.
My grandmother passed down to me her authentic spaghetti sauce, since then I have had a passion for authentic Italian recipes. So glad I found your channel.
I have avoided fettuccine Alfredo even though it’s one of my favorites. The heavy cream made it to Rich for me. I made this for dinner tonight and did a happy dance. It’s absolutely delicious and I can make enough for just myself. Thank you for sharing this recipe it truly is delicious.
A really big THANK YOU for this recipe! My husband miraculously survived the infamous "widow-maker" heart attack 2 years ago, and so we drastically changed our eating habits. One thing I've missed is fettuccine alfredo. Didn't know you could make it without cream! A little parmesan now and again is okay for hubby (but we have to use nasty margarine, zero cholesterol), and now that I've got a much healthier way of cooking this dish, I think it'll be on the menu next week. Again, thank you, thank you!
thanks for the recipe man. i have been trying this recipe from other channels but always had a tough time with cheese and water separating. your method with the cold/warm pan for mixing worked absolutely perfect. appreciate the great content
Just made this and it slapped. The only thing I did differently was smash a garlic clove with my knife and add it to the off heat butter. I simply removed the garlic before adding the pasta to emulsify the sauce. I then finely chopped that same clove and tossed it on our garlic bread I made from an Italian roll at the market. Knowing the basic three ingredients and how to work them has opened up a whole new world of Alfredo for my family. Thanks Steve!
One of the few people online who actually made fettuccine Alfredo the way it’s supposed to be made! I made it the first time earlier this year and thought to myself “Wow! This is Italy’s answer to Mac and Cheese!” A basic culinary history lesson then made me realize that Mac and Cheese was America’s answer to Fettuccine Alfredo.
Thank you for not having a one hour live and shouting out to everyone in the Livechat!! You actually replied in the Live chat to your viewers!! Good job, still unique as hell and killing the game!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳
Use Egg Fettuccine, it adds depth of flavor. Regular pasta works for this, but Egg Fettuccine is in the original recipe and really brings it home. Its a separate thing in stores, often in a bag in a nest.
I think there will be a few Italian chefs, especially in Rome, out there looking at this video and saying, "Finally!" If you're making your own pasta, I recommend rolling the dough out super, super thin. Gives a really light feel on the tongue, and the added surface area soaks up more sauce. What I do is roll the sheets all the way down to "1" on my pasta roller, then I take two sheets, flour them really well so they don't stick to each other, and roll them through the machine _together_ on setting "3", which just makes them a little bit thinner. You do have to be just a little bit more gentle when tossing, but they're not tissue paper. Cutting the noodles a little shorter can help prevent them from snagging while tossing.
I just made this. Turned out perfect. May be the best pasta dish I have ever eaten, tastier than any double cream sauce and strangely easier to make too!!
I'm Japanese-American, but I think I was suppose to be born Italian because I love Italian food so ridiculously much, and pasta is right up there at the top of the list. I'm trying to watch all of your vids, I love them, your explanations are extremely easy to understand, but I can't keep up with the cooking. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience!
You sweet angel THANK U ! I’ve made this dozens of times and couldn’t figure out how to get the cheese to not be all stringy. First person to explain the crucial no heat pan step ! BRB making this now 😘
THANK YOU!!!! I was trying another method that combined pasta water and butter in a heated pan and then added cheese into that to form the sauce but I just could not get it to work, the cheese just clumped up. I just tried your method tonight and it came out PERFECT!!! Nice creamy sauce that stuck to the noodles and tasted incredible!
I just watched your cacio e pepe recipe right before this one. I just wanted to say thank you for keeping our Italian recipes authentic and not taking the simplicity out of it the way most Americans do. newly subbed
I love all your original pasta recipes without cream. Somehow they taste lighter this way, even though there usually is a ton of butter or pancetta in them. I'm slowly working myself through all of them.
I thank you much for all your hard work and patience to "talk" with the public. I have been trying to make your recipes. Thank you again. You know your stuff and glad you are passing it on to us.
ZIOMY03 So are our Italian dishes .... simple, easy and rich in flavor and taste ! Greetings from Italy ! 🇮🇹 👋 PS: A little tip ... add a little freshly ground pepper to the Fettuccine at the end. And the most importantly thing ... use always “Parmigiano Reggiano” to be grated fresh and never the one already grated in the sachets ! 😉
Found your channel this morning, I just tried this recipe and it was amazing ! I have never cooked anything like this before from scratch .. I impressed myself .. It was like eating at a restaurant! Amazing ! I have been watching your videos all day .. great channel ! Thanks for everything !
I just made this with my boyfriend and it is hands down the best fettuccine alfredo we've ever made. So good! I messed up thr timing a little with three chicken were served with it so were trying again tomorrow. Thank you for sharing!
This is just perfect. I’ve recently subscribed to your channel because of your true dedication to the correct recipes and preservation of the real flavour. Keep it up!
Lucas Pessamilio .. it’s the camera work bro and the music.thats where the passion is in these videos. If you want me to take a dump on your cutting board and sprinkle Parmesan over it I’ll just have this guy come do it
dude thank you for teaching me this beautifully simple method. I just tried it out with some spaghetti, some old pieces of parmesan and pecorino and it was SO good. When you add the hot water and it all comes together, it is a thing of beauty. check mate jarred alfredo sauce - you will never be purchased again
I tried this and when I added the water. All my cheese clumped up. It was just noodles and lit bits of clumped cheese. No creamy Alfredo sauce? What did I do wrong?
I thought it was odd when he said it would taste like there was a lot more going on/in the dish than there is but it did turn out that way even for me. Tasted like there was some herb action and I did not add any. It was very good, and exactly what I think of when I think Alfredo. I also recommend the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio recipe on this channel !
I know the traditional method is to use fresh, but I use dried pasta for my Alfredo, as I do for carbonara. Fresh is just too limp for my liking. Garafalo* great brand choice! Cheers- you are on point, and should have your own cooking show on national television. People would enjoy watching you make pasta, like anyone would enjoy the sound of piano music. Cheers and happy holidays!!!
Thank you for this video. I only just learned that fettuccine alfredo isn't supposed to have cream. You gave me what I need to know and I am making this tonight!
This was soooo..delish made it for myself and my parents and they loved it too. 😋 Yummy! You are right the heavy cream is totally unnecessary. Your way is the best way. Much love❤!
I can taste that from here. Thank you for the delicious recopies; P.S i tried the weekday tomato sauce one, and MAAAAAAN! the most delicious pasta I've ever made and i make a good pesto (so I've heard). But, awesome work man! Thank You
Super important on this recipe!!! You need to use real parmigiano cheese and not parmesan. Parmesan is the American cheap variety. In most parmesan, there is an anti caking agent, mostly potato starch. Potato starch will give you clumps
Parmesan is just the literal English translation of Parmigiano. At least in Germany when we say "Parmesan" we mean exactly Parmigiano. I don't imagine that it would be different in the US
@Ted Wilson Ok. But it's also similar to how in the US you call Salami "pepperoni", while pepperoni already has a totally different meaning in Italian/other European languages.
This is so hurtful. I found your channel a week ago, already made the weekday sauce and chicken Parm, and thought the one thing that’s missing is Alfredo. So I made it two days ago, just to open RUclips and see this today. Now I gotta make Alfredo again 😂
Marcus Wilson it’s a good recipe but it’s still filled with carbs, butter, and cheese. You aren’t going to be losing weight eating this and it’s not a healthy meal.
Uzzie B you don’t lose weight eating any meal. It’s all about portion and working out, without the cream it simplifies how you actually are supposed to eat your carbs and fat. I’ll be just fine eating this while I’m boxing and heavy lifting
I'd say maybe using the cream would allow you to use less cheese, which is expensive, for the real stuff anyway...but worth it, don't get me wrong. Looks great though and I will try it. Thanks.
Its really the italian equivalent of fried rice or a sandwich. Its easy, quick, simple and cheap to make. Its the dish you make with whatever that's already in your kitchen.
Wow! That's it? Aw maaan! And I just ordered some fettuccine alfredo sauce from a friend of mine who's a chef. Ah please! That's the last order I send him for this. I can't believe that all it takes is these 3 small ingredients. My wife and I love fettuccine alfredo. Thank you so much bro...
I have looked EVERYWHERE for an Alfredo recipe without cream. I had this type of Alfredo in a restaurant called Carmine's and have wanted to make it this way. Thank you SM!! Earned a new subscriber 😊 (Could you tell us the cheese and butter you recommend using?)
Hey fantastic. The idea of using the cast iron pan is excellent. A bit of heat before you start helps the butter to start melting gently and the cast iron keeps the heat. I still feel this dish gets to the plate a little lukewarm... mine does 😁 I'm worried about putting any heat under the pan and the cheese "splitting" out of the sauce ??
I usually do a nice pasta dinner a couple times a month. I have a lost I’m working through from a number of different RUclips chefs, and this is going on the list for sure.
Top tip - stick the pan holding the butter on top of the pasta pan, bain Marie style, to melt the butter. That way the heat of the pasta goes to emulsifying the sauce and keeping the final product warm, not just melting the butter.
My assumption is that it doesn’t stick and the cast iron holds the heat better. Teflon is supposed to be carcinogenic in certain health circles so the alternative is ceramic or cast iron.
Looks really delicious … going to make it for dinner … need to get some good cheese … I enjoy your videos. I am gaining confidence and it shows in the food I make … I truly appreciate your help … my sincere thanks!
Small kitchen hack I use for this: use the steam of the pasta water to warm up your pan. Works perfectly, just need to wipe the bottom of the pan once you're done.
Nice. This is the way the old Italian steak houses made it back in the 70’s in Detroit, and they did it table side. Yes, I am that old. 👍
Do you remember the names of the restaurants? I lived there but was a child in the 70s but I remember a place that would make Caesar salad at the table side. It was the best Caesar salad I ever had!
Legend
Oh that sounds incredible :)
ur 300?
Making sure the pan is not hot that you combine them in is most crucial, if the pan is hot the cheese will break down instead of turning into cream. Great recipe here
Is that what might cause the cheese to be stringy?

@@bashdash4 That and using cheap cheese. He says parmasean, but you should try to get Parmigiano-Reggiano.
@@thetr00per30 thanks! This must have been my problem. The cheese all clumped together in a stringy mass and would not integrate with the pasta water.

I thought it was odd when he said it would taste like there was a lot more going on/in the dish than there is but it did turn out that way even for me. Tasted like there was some herb action and I did not add any. It was very good, and exactly what I think of when I think Alfredo. I also recommend the Spaghetti Aglio e Olio recipe on this channel !
I love love love your videos. You make it so simple and easy to follow. This dish is simple and delicious!
This is the best way ,and how I do it at my restaurant
Finally tried this today and I must say...this is it. Thank you !!
I love these fast, easy recipes! This looks so creamy & perfect.
Turned out great! I was skeptical half way through then I added more water and cheese. Voila! It came together.
This is the kind of recipe that's a go to. More quick minimal ingredient recipes!
I normally skip thru videos but these I can watch from start to finish!. great content man! Keep it up!
Another winner. Btw, I made your weekday sauce recipe tonight--wife loved it!
I know the traditional method is to use fresh, but I use dried pasta for my Alfredo, as I do for carbonara. Fresh is just too limp for my liking. Garafalo* great brand choice! Cheers- you are on point, and should have your own cooking show on national television. People would enjoy watching you make pasta, like anyone would enjoy the sound of piano music. Cheers and happy holidays!!!
The special ingredient is love.
Much respect to you.
Thank you for always making dishes that are accessible to your average person!!
You're gonna hit a million before end of 2019!!! You watch!
Optimist Prime ovah here :P
Thank you for this video. I only just learned that fettuccine alfredo isn't supposed to have cream. You gave me what I need to know and I am making this tonight!
Enjoy it! One of the best
This was soooo..delish made it for myself and my parents and they loved it too. 😋 Yummy! You are right the heavy cream is totally unnecessary. Your way is the best way. Much love❤!
Thank you! So easy …. So yummy. Added garlic and broccoli. Love your videos . Thank you !
I‘d add some fresh pepper on top.
Orher than that... perfect!
made this twice now, it's quick and fantastic...its part of my life now. thank you
I can taste that from here. Thank you for the delicious recopies; P.S i tried the weekday tomato sauce one, and MAAAAAAN! the most delicious pasta I've ever made and i make a good pesto (so I've heard). But, awesome work man! Thank You
I so much improved my pasta game thanks to your videos ! thanks a lot man !
Super important on this recipe!!! You need to use real parmigiano cheese and not parmesan. Parmesan is the American cheap variety. In most parmesan, there is an anti caking agent, mostly potato starch. Potato starch will give you clumps
Parmesan is just the literal English translation of Parmigiano. At least in Germany when we say "Parmesan" we mean exactly Parmigiano. I don't imagine that it would be different in the US
@Ted Wilson Ok. But it's also similar to how in the US you call Salami "pepperoni", while pepperoni already has a totally different meaning in Italian/other European languages.
@@Livingtree32 Nope, Parmesan is the name of the american rip-off of Parmigiano.
I made this while cooking for the first time, it was phenomenal
All the stores in town have been out of Alfredo for a month. Embarassed to find out it’s just two ingredients
I have always dreamed of finding a channel that shows recipes that I can cook. Thank you 🙏
This is so hurtful. I found your channel a week ago, already made the weekday sauce and chicken Parm, and thought the one thing that’s missing is Alfredo. So I made it two days ago, just to open RUclips and see this today.
Now I gotta make Alfredo again 😂
I really love the camera angles. The set and the music and of course the presentation. Great show I'm loving it
BTW! Thank you for saving us money and calories with this one, removing that cream helps alot!
Marcus Wilson it’s a good recipe but it’s still filled with carbs, butter, and cheese. You aren’t going to be losing weight eating this and it’s not a healthy meal.
Uzzie B you don’t lose weight eating any meal. It’s all about portion and working out, without the cream it simplifies how you actually are supposed to eat your carbs and fat. I’ll be just fine eating this while I’m boxing and heavy lifting
I'd say maybe using the cream would allow you to use less cheese, which is expensive, for the real stuff anyway...but worth it, don't get me wrong. Looks great though and I will try it. Thanks.
Its really the italian equivalent of fried rice or a sandwich. Its easy, quick, simple and cheap to make. Its the dish you make with whatever that's already in your kitchen.
I'll be damned if that Staub is not one beautiful pan.
Yo, as soon as I got to 00:45, I was like 👀💓

Why? Nothing is shown at your timestamp.
Wow! That's it? Aw maaan! And I just ordered some fettuccine alfredo sauce from a friend of mine who's a chef. Ah please! That's the last order I send him for this. I can't believe that all it takes is these 3 small ingredients. My wife and I love fettuccine alfredo. Thank you so much bro...
I have looked EVERYWHERE for an Alfredo recipe without cream. I had this type of Alfredo in a restaurant called Carmine's and have wanted to make it this way. Thank you SM!! Earned a new subscriber 😊
(Could you tell us the cheese and butter you recommend using?)
Carmine's in NYC?
Hey fantastic. The idea of using the cast iron pan is excellent. A bit of heat before you start helps the butter to start melting gently and the cast iron keeps the heat. I still feel this dish gets to the plate a little lukewarm... mine does 😁 I'm worried about putting any heat under the pan and the cheese "splitting" out of the sauce ??
You could add sage when in the pasta there is soo much butter ;)
just try, advice from an italian guy who loves you
I was saying the same thing. But you can add pepper at the table for the individual taste.
@Doeray You'd probably love Carbonara then.
cioè, le fettuccine burro e salvia? No way
i made this dish tonight. For sure 10/10 especially with a bit of garlic and pepper
I thought the first 45 secs was the whole vid! :)
I usually do a nice pasta dinner a couple times a month. I have a lost I’m working through from a number of different RUclips chefs, and this is going on the list for sure.
Omg. My ex’s mom used to make Alfredo without heavy cream. I thought I was remembering wrong!
Top tip - stick the pan holding the butter on top of the pasta pan, bain Marie style, to melt the butter.
That way the heat of the pasta goes to emulsifying the sauce and keeping the final product warm, not just melting the butter.
Why did you use a cast iron skillet to make this?
My assumption is that it doesn’t stick and the cast iron holds the heat better. Teflon is supposed to be carcinogenic in certain health circles so the alternative is ceramic or cast iron.
Looks really delicious … going to make it for dinner … need to get some good cheese … I enjoy your videos. I am gaining confidence and it shows in the food I make … I truly appreciate your help … my sincere thanks!
Hey guys, remember way back in September 2019 when America wasn't shut down and burning? The good ol' days.
You can thank the corrupt Marxist idiologues, and their mobs. In the end, it will not last, it will just take some time...
This guy is great ! Can’t miss his pasta recipes. No twirls, ingredients quality based, so simple, so delicious
Oh yeah. I was waiting for this to drop. Cream, be gone!
Small kitchen hack I use for this: use the steam of the pasta water to warm up your pan. Works perfectly, just need to wipe the bottom of the pan once you're done.
