    ROME, ITALY - Today we’re in Rome and going to eat the original Fettuccine Alfredo, one of the world’s most famous Italian dishes - pastas!
    Fettuccine Alfredo has quite an amazing history, originating from a variety of similar pastas in Rome. And so while many people think it’s a pasta that’s not really Italian - it’s actually 100% Italian and invented in Rome, Italy.
    However, through a series of events linked with Hollywood celebrities, this Italian food pasta became extremely popular and famous throughout the world and especially the United States.
    So why do so many Italians hate Fettuccine Alfredo? Well the fact of the matter is that there are many bad versions, and when it became so famous in the United States and around the world, it came at the sacrifice of soggy noodle and bad cheese.
    BUT…
    When you go to the original source in Rome, it’s a totally different story and an amazing pasta that you absolutely need to try when you’re in Rome!

    We visited friends in Rome two years ago and it’s true that Romans show a marked disdain for fettuccine Alfredo. They said, “who is Alfredo” when I asked them about it. That said, true Roman Carbonara is so much better than Alfredo ever could be.

    • @alessandroarsuffi3062
      @alessandroarsuffi3062 Před 2 měsíci +3

      Alfredo didn't invent anything, he just exported a very plain, easy and popular solution of homemade pasta and put his name unto it. And yes, real carbonara is something else when done properly.

    In Italy, fettuccine Alfredo is not popular for a simple reason: We make pasta with butter at home, it is a waste to order such a simple dish in a restaurant.

      That doesn't seem like a good reason to hate it. I understand the idea of not wanting to order it for the reason you stated, but to show disgust on your face when it is mentioned seems pretty asinine to me. I love Fettuccine Alfredo and I've ordered it at restaurants and made it at home. Sometimes the restaurants just taste better.

    My dad's side came directly from Italy during WW2 to escape. We were taught to use large spoons to twirl pasta around a fork. Never a knife at Nana's house for homemade pasta. And she made a cheese sauce just like this, very simple but lightly added garlic and some olive oil with sausage and artichokes on the side. This is NOT American but very simple Italian fare from before the war and as was stated below we would never order this or marinara in a restaurant because we eat both of these at home all the time. I miss my Nana, and I miss her amazing but simple food from her homeland.

    As a young cook in North America, I was shown Alfredo as butter, cream and parmessan cheese with a few grates of nutmeg. I was aware that the original had no cream. As I gained experience with cooking pasta, I learned that the starchy pasta water was often used to emulsify with oils like butter to make a sauce. That's exactly what we see here with the original method of cooking Alfredo sauce.

    • @PUTDEVICE
      @PUTDEVICE Před 3 měsíci

      agree with you. many countries make their own recipes for many dishes. and it annoys me a little, like when someone is going to make Swedish meatballs and has spices etc. that are not in the classic recipe. milk/cream, breadcrumbs, eggs, minced meat, onion, salt and pepper, possibly a little sugar. There weren't as many exotic spices in households 60-70 years ago as we have today.

    Pasta Alfredo is nothing but a joke on Americans. In Italy we call it “pasta in bianco”, or “pasta al burro”, and would never order something so simple in a restaurant! Also most Italians have never heard of this name “Alfredo” used for pasta al burro. Pretty ridiculous.

    I found this on the Internet:
    In 1943, di Lilio sold the restaurant to a new owner, who kept the restaurant’s name (Alfredo alla Scrofa), menu, and all the photos on the wall. In 1950, Alfredo and his son Armando opened another restaurant, Il Vero Alfredo, “the true
    Alfredo,” which is now managed by Alfredo’s grandchildren. Both restaurants claim to be the originator of the dish.

    Hi Mark fettuccine Alfredo doesn’t really exist in Italy, it’s more of an American invention. In Italy it’s common to eat pasta with a sauce known as “al burro” (with butter) its pasta served with melted butter that's sometimes infused with fresh sage, as well as grated Parmigiano.

    • @zirchsoft
      @zirchsoft Před 3 měsíci +6

      u probably haven't watched the video till the end. Alfredo's restaurant existed way back before the americans came to italy, way before even world war. If there is any pasta dish that has an american influence then its carbonara, not pasta alfredo. The dish name "Fettucine Alfredo" might not be widely used in Italy like "al burro", but the fact that Alfredo was a real person, and that he is worldwide known for exactly that particular dish, makes it a real italian dish. If you still claim it doesn't exist, I urge you to watch the video again. Small hint: The Alfredo restaurant is literally located inside Italy FYI! Matter of fact, they made the entire video shoot in Italy XD

    What you call "fettuccine alfredo" is actually called "pasta al burro" (pasta with butter) in Italy. We usually cook it when we are sick and hence we have to eat something simple, or if we are in a rush. This Alfredo guy in Rome managed to create a legend around it and sell it to tourists for 25 euros, just because they think they are eating the original one. In an average Italian restaurant, this dish is not even on the menu because it is too simple; anyway, if you ask any chef, he or she will prepare it for children that don't want to eat anything of the restaurant proposal.
    So, Italians don't hate it, they just would never pay that amount of money for a dish made with butter and parmesan. But we surely hate that monstrosity proposed as fettuccine alfredo in the US which is done with chicken, garlic and I don't know what else.
    Anyway thumbs up for alfredo alla scrofa that was even able to put some butter and parmesan in a jar to sell 🤣

    Born and raised in Queens NY. I went to catholic school and majority of my friends were Italian Americans. What I learned is Italian American cuisine is nothing like what is eaten in Italy. When Italian immigrants came to the US it was mostly poor working class from southern Italy. When they first arrived the abundance of meat was a shock to the immigrants. They started to incorporate heavy meat into their diet. Italians in Italy tend to eat on the lighter side and do not mix meat with cheese. Popular Italian products are all primarily from the northern richer region Lombardy , Tuscany , Emilia- Romagna etc.

    I don't think Italians have a problem with the dish when it is made just with butter and parmesan. I think the problem is when people add cream. They have that issue (quite rightly) with other dishes too. Double (Heavy) Cream makes the pasta "clingy" on the pallet and adds an unwelcome dairyness. (is there such a word?).
