ELAINE'S FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Elaine's Fettuccine Alfredo image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2004 article about Elaine Kaufman, the founder and proprietress of the famed New York restaurant and celebrity hot spot that bore her name and where this dish was served. There is nothing fancy or complicated about it - it's glorified macaroni and cheese, really - but it is delicious and deeply satisfying. (Fun fact: Jackie O was a fan.)

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 pound fresh fettuccine
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring 6 quarts generously salted water to a boil.
  • While the water heats, melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; saute until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Whisk the cream with the egg yolk in a bowl until blended; pour into the garlic butter. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir until hot but not boiling. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, cook the pasta, partially covered, until al dente. (The pasta will float when it's done.) Drain in a colander, shaking out excess water, but reserve a little cooking water. Pour hot pasta into the cream mixture and toss to coat (still over low heat). Add the cheese and keep tossing gently until cream is mostly absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is absorbed too much, toss with a little pasta water. Serve in warm bowls.

ALFREDO'S OF ROME'S ORIGINAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Alfredo's of Rome's Original Fettuccine Alfredo image

Recipe courtesy of Russell Bellanca, owner of Alfredo's of Rome. 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 deli's.

ELEANORA SCARPETTA'S FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

This delicious pasta recipe for fettuccine alfredo comes from Eleanora Scarpetta.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Coarse salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped
2 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream or half and half
1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 large egg yolk, lightly beaten
1 pound Fresh Pasta for Eleanora Scarpetta's Fettuccine Alfredo, or best quality fresh or dry fettuccine

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add prosciutto, mushrooms, and parsley. Saute until light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add heavy cream and cheese. When cheese is melted, add egg yolk. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
  • Add fettuccine to boiling water and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Drain pasta and transfer to a large serving platter. Pour sauce over fettuccine; sprinkle with mushroom and prosciutto mixture. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your fettuccine Alfredo.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce well.
  • Make a smooth and creamy sauce. Use a combination of butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese to make a smooth and creamy sauce. Be sure to stir the sauce constantly so that it doesn't curdle.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Garnish the fettuccine Alfredo with fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
