Recipe Introduction

The Original Fettuccine Alfredo was created in 1914 by Alfredo Di
Lelio,
concocted to tempt the palate of his pregnant wife who had lost her
appetite. Until now, the Original Fettuccine Alfredo has been a secret
recipe, passed on from generation to generation. At the Alfredo
restaurants,
the fettuccine noodles are made fresh daily from a mix of three
different
flours, durum and organic eggs. For home use, however, the cook can
purchase
fresh fettuccine noodles at most supermarkets and delis.
List of Ingredients
1 pound fresh, very thin fettuccine noodles
6 ounces butter, unsalted
6 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (aged 24 months), grated
Recipe
Cook the fettuccine noodles in 1 gallon of salted boiling water for
three
minutes. At the same time, mix the butter at room temperature in a bowl
with
the grated cheese until the cheese almost dissolves, forming a smooth
cream.
If using a mixer, this should not take more than three minutes at which
time
the noodles will be ready. Strain the pasta leaving just a small amount
of
water and toss the noodles with the Alfredo sauce. Plate the
preparation.
Cheese lovers may want to sprinkle additional grated cheese on top.
