@saltsugarandstories: It’s dinner time, y’all! 🍝 Tonight I made Miss Rita’s Fettuccine Alfredo, and I’m telling you right now… I may never make Alfredo any other way again. SO simple and absolutely delicious. There really isn’t even a “recipe.” You just need: 🍝 Fettuccine 🧈 Good salted butter 🧀 Good freshly grated Parmesan cheese 💦 Pasta water Melt a good amount of butter in your pan. Cook your fettuccine, but DO NOT drain that pasta water! Take the noodles straight from the water and put them into the melted butter. Toss it all together, add plenty of freshly grated Parmesan, then add a little pasta water and keep mixing until everything gets creamy. Add more cheese, butter or pasta water as you need it until it looks just right. That’s it. No heavy cream. No complicated sauce. Just butter, Parmesan, pasta and that magical pasta water. And OH MY GOODNESS, it is delicious. After I finished filming, I added a few red pepper flakes to mine because y’all know I cannot leave well enough alone and everything needs a little heat. 😂🌶️ Totally optional. Thank you, Miss Rita! This one is absolutely staying in the rotation. ❤️ P.S. Yes, there was a fly terrorizing me throughout this entire video. The Godfather music was for him. “I know it was you, Flydo. You broke my heart.” 😂😂😂😂 #recipes #dinner #EasyRecipe #italianfood #fyp @Rita

If you have not tried her Spaghettata you should. Soooo simple and soooo good. It was the first thing I ever saw her cook. My family loves it.

I’m Italian. No olive oil in your pasta water. It will keep your sauce from sticking ti your pasta. Only salt in your pasta water

listen girl let me put you on! I normally gatekeep my recipe but listen if you melt 2 sticks of butter and saute minced garlic (and onions if you like) for about 45 seconds til you smell it nicely, then slowly whisk in some heavy whipping cream and lef it warm up and start to simmer just a little bit, then SLOWLY add in freshly grated Parm (make sure you get authentic not Parmesan flavored you gotta get the right one, also if you use pre shredded cheese it doesn't melt nearly as well so make sure you hand grate it) slowly whisk it in small batches at a time make sure each batch melts before adding the next handful or it gets clumpy, then mix 1tbsp of cornstarch and 1tbps of cold water and mix it in a small bowl til it forms a slush then slowly stir that in until it thickens up a little then add noodles and chicken! also making your own noodles is super easy to! you just need 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 whole egg And 2 egg whites and a pinch of salt and a small splash of olive oil! once you have your dough split into 4 and roll it out paper thin like super super thin you need to be able to see your hand through it so you need a roller and keep flipping the dough so it doesn't stick to the counter!, once it's fully rolled out you fold it (long ways) about 3 times until it's almost like a log ( long sideways but not long up and down ya know) MAKE SURE you add flour on top before folding or it will stick together!!! once you have a log you can cut it into quarter inch slices and you can just grab each slice and it will unfold into a noodle! from there you just throw it into heavily salted BOILING water it has to be boiling a lot though not small bubbles! cook for about 4 minutes and it should be done! try it serisouly it's so good!!!!

People calling it butter noodles but this is traditional Alfredo. The one with heavy cream is Italian American Alfredo.

Seems like it would be a little bland. Garlic makes everything better.

I think some jarlic and black pepper in that butter at the beginning would have made it even better

No Olive Oil in pasta. It coats the noodle & creates a barrier for the sauce. The pasta can’t absorb the sauce as it would if you just used salt

Just a friendly FYI - Italians never add oil to their pasta cooking water, only salt. Oil to pasta cooking water is a big no.

Add a little heavy cream that’s the only thing you’re missing and what this does is sucks up some of that oil from the butter makes it more creamy.
