Authentic Fettuccine Alfredo 🇮🇹🤌🏼
No cream, no garlic—just three simple ingredients: pasta, butter, and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Sometimes, simplicity is perfection. 🍝🧀
The original Fettuccine Alfredo uses only 3 ingredients—no heavy cream.
Ingredients
• 8 oz (225 g) fettuccine pasta
• ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (100 g) freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Instructions
1. Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water before draining.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet or bowl.
3. Add the hot pasta and toss with the butter.
4. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, tossing continuously.
5. Add a little reserved pasta water as needed until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and coats the pasta evenly.
