- Fettuccine Alfredo is obviously better when it’s homemade. But... is there a best of all-time version? Turns out... there are multiple versions.

“First you’ll need a head of cauliflower”
I’m out 😂
Fr lol
Lol! Dude, I absolutely _LOVE_ cauliflower, but not to make fettuccine Alfredo with! If you aren’t a fan of cauliflower in general, then I challenge you to try it in this dish, because it was the most fantastic thing I’ve ever made with cauliflower. I don’t know if we can leave links on this channel (I will try to leave the link in a post after this, but if it doesn’t show up, then you will know why)...
Just do a CZcams search for the video with the title “Cheesy Cauliflower Bake | Delish” - it is on the “Delish“ channel, yet for some reason the listing isn’t at the top of the return list when I look it up (it was the seventh listing for me).
I made one alteration to this recipe: I added breadcrumbs to the top of my dish when putting it in the oven, and it was awesome. Try it! :)
P.S. Here is a version of this dish where I altered it slightly and it was fabulous (and I also will list another way to prepare cauliflower which is the bomb if you wanted to try another way to make it):
Boil the cuts of cauliflower for 5-8 mins, then put in a baking dish or oven-safe saucepan with a bit of heavy cream (not much - like a 1/2 cup per head of cauliflower), then in this order, sprinkle with 3 cloves minced garlic, pats of butter (6 tbsp), 1 tbsp thyme, salt and pepper, 2 cups of cheddar or Colby Jack cheese (I used the latter which was awesome af, but the recipe called for the former) as well as 1 cup of grated Parmesan, topping with Panko breadcrumbs last (the breadcrumbs were my addition to their recipe and I found it to be a crucial addition).
Bake it at 400° F until the top is slightly browned.
Also, I combined the way I usually prepare cauliflower with this recipe a bit, by dripping a bit of lemon juice concentrate on some of my bites of the cheese bake. Yum!!
The way I had always been preparing cauliflower before (as well as broccoli) is to steam the cuts of it, then douse ’em in butter that melts on them, along with some sea salt, and finally adding tons of lemon juice concentrate last after the butter is melted, tossing it all well.
If you haven’t tried either of these preparation methods, I can’t recommend them highly enough!!! Just off the wall delicious, and anyone who hates these vegetables at all would absolutely love them like this!!

As an Italian, the moment I saw how you made the first Fettuccine, I’m like “YESH! That’s how you make it!” The Americanized version is what the Italian immigrants used, using the ingredients from America. It may not be authentic, but it is as authentic as it’s gonna get.
Fettuccine is literally an American dish invented by an Italian American. There is nothing Italian about fettuccine.
@@johnhuber3921 who cares!! Food is food and its goodm im mexican and love taco bell. So what?
@@johnhuber3921 fettuccine is Italian and fettuccine Alfredo was invented by Alfredo Di Lelio in Rome, based on a dish that has been made in Italy for hundreds of years
That’s because america is better at everything. Even I-Tallian food
Actually it was imported by celebrities and modified
Pronouncing 'fettuccine al burro' perfectly is an example of why I love you.
Close enough at least. The "e" in italian is pronounced differently, more like mhhm the sound of the second "a" in pancAke? So it's like fettuccinE al burro, while for me Josh sounds like he is saying FettuccinI al burro.
So much far from perfectly
@@robertamarino9723 Fascinating! Thank you for clarifying!
Çongrats on 500 likes. 500th like
@@robertamarino9723 I'm from the north, Milano area, and my E's tend to be quite closed, so I heard a quite correct "fettuccinE" every time he pronounced it in Italian - so I guess it's also a matter of perspective from your regional Italian. I'm a language teacher specialised in phonology and phonetics (that is, pronunciation), and he often does a great job at pronouncing Italian words, in my opinion :)
Fun fact: Fettuccini al triplo burro - or fettuccini Alfredo - was actually a dish created by Alfredo de Lelio in Rome in the early-20th century and brought to the States by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks after discovering it on their honeymoon. So, in 1930s Hollywood, fettuccini Alfredo was *the* dish to serve at your dinner party (which is probably where the cream version came in as a way to cheat when the sauce didn't emulsify).
The restaurant is still there; Alfredo alla Scrofa in Rome.
you sir, are correct
And also Il Vero Alfredo in piazza Augusto Imperatore in Rome
Heavy Cream can save your sauce, if it breaks.
I can see people struggling with getting their sauce to emulsify, and putting it back on the heat to get the cheese to melt, only to break their sauce by getting it too hot, and denaturing the proteins in the cheese and causing the milk fats to separate.
Adding cream adds more proteins and fats, and cools the sauce down, to where you can maybe bring it back together. Quite possibly the Americanized recipe includes cream from the get-go, to make it more fool-proof.
Exactly, Alfredo alla Scrofa is the restaurant
Thank you, Joshua and team. I made the fettuccini al burro today, May 1, 2023, because today is the day CZcams recommended it to me. It was delicious and my wife and mother-in-law loved it. I’m not sure what technique you are referring to, but apparently I acquired it somewhere along the way, and I’m simply an old, blue collar guy with no formal culinary training. Thanks again, this recipe will be in our rotation of dishes going forward.
he means the technique of being able to make a cohesive sauce without cream through emulsion with pasta water, which you did so good job, it's the basis of every single italian pasta sauce, like carbonara etc.
My favorite part is that he acts like he hates cooking "healthy," but has a cookbook dedicated to healthy eating... lol
Ya bois just dropping these simple dishes on us because he knows we can handle them 😭 thank you Josh
One of the most impressive dishes that's actually EASY
Learning stuff like this makes the complicated stuff so much easier.
Lol you guys think this is easy xD
You respected the OG version you, respected the American version and gave us a healthy version. You covered all bases and for that you deserve all the things in the world
I agree
I don’t want to admit how many times I’ve come back to this video for the first two recipes
The first recipe is literally butter and Parmesan..
LOOOL SAME. Finally made the second one today-no regrets!
Did the first way for my dad's birthday. I needed something simple since I cant cook to save my life and he loved it!
Weissman and Babish really out here trying to give me heart attacks and I love it

Totally agree that doing Pasta Dishes the way they are done in Italy, with technique and simple ingredients makes such a massive difference.
this is my favorite pasta by far and one of my favorite foods! this looks amazing and i will definitely use these recipes!
I’m genuinely happy that you always mention how mad we get about supposedly “Italian” dishes lmao
Man, we get angry about the people one village over, who dare to do something we've not grown up with. Declaring people insane, if they just added a little pepper in a dish that SHOULD NOT have it. One could say we are close minded...on the other hand this type of thinking has kept myriads of regional specialities alive in Italy. We should calm down a bit, though.
@@offroadskater My sister once added parmesan to fish, i don't see her since that day
@@giacomo8891 There is a Parmesan sole recipe that obviously requires Parmesan. So, if she did that, she's pardoned. But barely. If she put it on any other fish, she must be institutionalised and everyone who tasted it and liked it, needs to lose their passport and move to (insert cliché culinary hell country. We don't discriminate. Any other country will do). We shall not tolerate deviation from established cuisine. We are Italians, damnit.
My grandfather said things like that with no sarcasm whatsoever.
@@offroadskater it also halts all culinary development .... not saying italian food is not good (it's godlike) but I don't really feel I am exploring anything new when I visit Italy, whereas in let's say Japan and China (other countries I have frequently visited) there is always something completely new and experimental to try out in addition to as deep and cultrually significant traditional dishes I can try out
@@doc8125 You are right. Although if you move out of the main cities, I am certain you will still find stuff you've never even heard of in Italy aswell. I'm not even close to knowing all hidden gems of Italian cuisine and I'm a curious eater. So, anything new? Bring it on.
I'm Italian and I must say your reaction impression was absolutely spot on.
The fettuccine tossed with butter, cheese and water made my mouth fall open! It looked just as great as the heavy cream version. 😉
I’ve come back to this video 3 times now. It’s so good and it’s easy to make, simple basic ingredients. I love it. Eventually I’ll remember it and not need to come back to watch lol. Thanks for the recipe!!!
The chaotic energy is on another level in this one 😂😂😂😂
Borderline BrutalMoose level of chaos and I’m not complaining 😂

@@gumpygumpy he has a goatee, which by definition is considered a beard. So I don’t see the problem.

Yes! The trifecta is complete!

sharing their love for pasta dishes ❤️
I was feeling super hungry for some fettuccine so i followed the second recipe and man its delicious! Thank you so much for this man. My parents tried it and they completely loved it. Thank you.
I'm all for the first way!! I made this on tiktok and it definitely sparked a massive outburst from the Americans telling me it wasn't Alfredo at all when it was the original recipe from Rome.
Hey it's fridge abuser
Uh oh.... I can hear the cries of his fridge over my headphones

I made this for Mother’s Day today thank you so much for the great recipes
Made the Al burro version, added cauliflower (cooked) and raw spinach after was nice and simple and quick! (I also added red pepper flakes and a tiny bit of lemon juice after hehe)

95% of the food we identify as "Italian" won't be found in Italy.
I wouldn't say 95%, but over 50% for sure. Also, depending on the region, there are many pastries and food in Italy that haven't been popular in America. A real shame.
Because they're really Italian-American. Italian recipes modified by Italian immigrants to the US using what was more widely available here.
Things my Sicilian Nona never heard of alfredo, lasagna and spaghetti with meatballs.
@@jackbits6397 Wouldn't surprise me much since Sicilian culture is pretty different from Neapolitan.
Lasagne has been around in Naples since the middle ages. Wide, flat ribbon pasta layered with sausage, ragu, ricotta, and mozzarella and then the whole thing is baked.
Fettucine Alfredo is just one popular take on the traditional pasta al burro e parmigiano, which is just pasta, typically fettuccini, tossed with butter and parmigiano-reggiano. It's only named Alfredo because of Alfredo di Lelio, a chef that popularized the flair of tossing the pasta, butter, and cheese tableside in front of the guests. Fettuccini al burro is the exact same thing but without the restaurant flair. Tossing fettuccini with butter and cheese has been a staple in Italy since the 1500s.
Spaghetti and meatballs is 100% an Italian American thing started in NYC in the late 1800s because meat was cheaper and more plentiful in the US.
@@octavius8562 right! Watching American cooking videos I actually found that americans use WAY more garlic than we do! Joshua always adds double or triple the garlic cloves that I'm used to lol
I wish I could like this multiple times. I watch it every time I make it.
Just got your cookbook as well.
Thank you, sir.
I love someone who gives metric measurements ❤️
I need to tell the people. I have cooked multiple dishes that josh has cooked for us on video. I’ve followed it to the T comes out amazing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I am beyond words how thankful I am. I love cooking and I’m so happy that he shares his secrets and recipes. Thank you josh!!!
Can also confirm, made 4 of his recipes so far and every single one comes out incredible!
Now you’re just giving me too many options to break my diet lol
break your diet on Sunday then do the healthy version on Monday
Enjoy the Easter weekend and refocus on Monday! Just don't go crazy and you'll be fine. I believe in you to find the balance and still enjoy the small pleasures that food brings!

I feel like this doesn't get said enough: the random hip-hop instrumentals you guys throw in always slap.
as an italian, hearing pasta called noodle... raises my inner "ma cosa stai dicendo"
Pasta is just the Italian family of noodles. Just not all noodles are pasta.
idem fra
Noodle........esci dalla mia cucina
As an Australian, I agree, pasta is very different from noodles. Completely different texture and taste.
noodle just means boiled dough it does not specifically mean ”asian” noodles or something.
What I LOVE about this is that I CAN SAFELY EAT IT!!! I can't have garlic, onion, or milk/cream thanks to a digestive disorder I've been diagnosed with. But fettucine alfredo is literally my favorite food. That first version is totally safe for me to eat! I'm not kidding when I say I'm about to go make this THIS weekend.
2:26 that's what good pu$$y sounds like.
As a group my friends and I just made it the al burro, and it's worth every bite, thank you....😊
I’m surprised you didn’t make a cashew cream sauce for the “healthy” version.
Cashew cream would have been a good vegan option, but the cashews themselves are relatively high in calories (from good fats), so wouldn't have been that much "healthier"
@@jonathantuovinen2181 The only reason cashews aren't healthy is because the carb to fat ratio is too high. There's too many carbohydrates for cashews to be healthy even with the good fats. All of the benefits from those fats just get shot to hell with the high carbohydrate amount.
The healthy version would have contained zucchini noodles, shirataki noodles or any other low carb noodle.
@@kyokoyumi Carbs are not unhealthy though???
@@jonathantuovinen2181 Calories also doesn’t automatically mean unhealthy
Alfredo is one of my all time favorites, never clicked on anything so fast in my life
just made the alfredo, with tagliatelle, honestly such a nice dish, the amount of cheese and pepper is scary but they both balance each other out to great an amazing sauce
Thank you so much for the recipes, I am french and I really want to try this Alfredo sauce, I will try your recipe, I am sure I will have a great meal 🤤!
Thank you so much 😁
2:25 "That's what good.. pasta.. sounds like."
I understood that reference xD
I was gonna say that too
LAHMAR !!!?
I WAS LITERALLY PLANNING ON MAKING FETTUCCINE ALFREDO TONIGHT HOW IS THE TIMING SO PERFECT!!??!?
Omg how did it turn out bestie
Did you end up making it? I tried the second recipe, literally IMMACULATE!! The best alfredo I've ever had!
i tried making the second one today and it came out absolutely perfectly thanks for the tutorial its simple and easy to make
I loveeeee the last one option thankssss🌸
Watching the Weissman journey is like watching a man fall deeper and deeper into insanity as he tries to turn himself into a fully fledged meme.
I like it.
I was more surprised that Joshua didn't do noodles from scratch than finding out Fettuccine Alfredo isn't really Italian
same bro I saw the vid and was like oh dammit another reason for me to order a pasta maker
I believe the noodles he used for the traditional fettuccine al burro used homemade noodles and he just didn’t show himself making them. They looked wider than box fettuccine noodles to me. The noodles he used for the American fettuccine Alfredo were out of a box. They were wide like our traditional fettuccine noodles but not as wide as the noodles he used for the fettuccine al burro which is why I’m assuming the al burro noodles were his homemade noodles. Just a guess though.
For Some recipes dry ones are sometimes better
Not every application calls for fresh noodles. Check out Italia Squisita for Italian chefs reacting to italian recipes by english speakers and showing the original/proper way of doing stuff, a lot of times they use dry “store bought” pasta.

I appreciate how you explained to make the authentic version. Every other recipe I have come across has you just adding the cheese to the pasta water and it never comes out right for me.
Might try doing it your way to see if it works for me.
Ok. I'm Italian and I LOVED this. Good job!

I’m not sure if anyone else noticed, but he finally used the right sized bowl to mix the pasta #mypapa

Just made Alfredo number 2...
SO AMAZING
THANK YOU JOSHUA
I just made the second recipe it was awesome! Thank you!!!
That cauliflower version is actually delicious in its own right, just don’t expect actual Alfredo
Josh cries about how he’s making a healthy version and then makes the healthy version and then tastes the healthy version and then loves the healthy version 😌
Thanks for the video. You're fun to watch and the sauce was delicious.
Thanks for recipe, it was simple and great! Highly recomend this
Perfect timing! I'm cooking this for a lovely lady tonight. Love ya man!
Definitely interesting, I need to try this way, I typically take the whole herb béchamel/ mornay path, I know that changes the dish but it allows for a little nuttiness to play well with the cream and protein.
I never get tired of fettuccine Alfredo, it’s so good! 😋
As someone with high cholesterol I appreciate the “healthy” version

Edit: Holy cow, someone’s been very busy adding recipes to your website. I am totally impressed. 💋Gramma luv u
God bless you Josh! Finally and fettucine al burro that I can follow and make
Yummy!
My personal favorite is similar to the second one, but I add quite a bit of mozzarella and season with pepper, salt, and nutmeg!
