Best 3 Ingredient Fettuccine Alfredo Recipes

3-INGREDIENT FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with 3/4 of water, add one or two tsp of salt and turn it to boil. When the water boils add 350g of fettuccine pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente following the package instruction. Grate the Italian hard-style cheese.
• While the pasta are cooking melt 90g of butter in a long bottomed pan at medium-low fire. Do not make it boil, once the butter is melted turn off the fire.
• When the pasta are ready, remove them from the water with a "spaghetti serving spoon", place them into a large bowl or plate. Keep one cup of the pasta water, we will use it for the sauce. Turn the heat back on the pan at low fire and pour 1/4 cup of the hot pasta water into the melted butter. Mix a little bit then add all the fettuccine pasta. Stir thoroughly until they're completely coated.
• Turn off the fire and add the cheese gradually, stirring constantly until it's completely melted. If the sauce becomes too thick to your taste add a little bit more pasta water (tbsp by tbsp).
• Once all the cheese melts, serve with freshly crushed black pepper and a few chopped parsley leaves. Salt to taste and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package. In a heavy bottomed skillet, melt the butter over low heat.
• When the fettuccine is cooked, use a pair of tongs to lift the pasta straight from the pot into the skillet filled with the butter. Save the pasta water.
• Turn the heat up to medium and use the tongs to swirl around the pasta. Add half the cheese and toss until melted and incorporated into the sauce. Add pasta water, a tablespoon at a time if needed to loosen the sauce. Add the remaining cheese and repeat until each strand of fettuccine is coated.

CHICKEN FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
• Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
• Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.
