Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe
I created this fettuccine Alfredo by modifying my mother's recipe. I get nothing but rave reviews when I make this dish. My boyfriend is a fettuccine Alfredo connoisseur, and he scrapes the pan every time. I must warn you, this recipe is not for the health-conscious!
What is Fettuccine Alfredo
Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian pasta dish that originates from Rome. It consists of fettuccine pasta tossed with a rich, creamy sauce made from butter and Parmesan cheese. The heat from the freshly cooked pasta melts the butter and cheese, creating a smooth and silky sauce that coats the noodles.
