I don't know why everyone is giving Robot Made of Meat a hard time. Fettuccini alfredo is just noodles, butter, and cheese is exactly right.
From wikipedia: "Fettucini alfredo or fettuccine al burro is a pasta dish made from fettuccine tossed with Parmesan cheese and butter."
Parmesan melts with the heated noodles and butter as you toss it to make a creamy sauce. The direct ancestor is Fettuccine alla romana, made by just noodles and parmesan cheese.
The original goes back to at least the 15th century in a cookbook, though it was just a little butter and parmesan, not as much butter as the modern version.
The modern version comes from Alfredo Di Lelio who, at his trattoria in 1914, produced 'fettuccini al triplo burro' or 'fettuccini triple butter'. That would eventually turn into just Fettuccini Alfredo for the cook himself.
If you're imagining it as like mac and cheese you're way off. Anything with cream, eggs, or starch is a bastardization of the original recipe. It could probably still be delicious, but there's something amazingly good about just the freshly melted butter/parmesan or butter/romano sauce, especially with strong fresh ground black pepper, some lemon, etc. Make sure you have really good quality parmigiano reggiano and I recommend a microplane grater, do not in any circumstance use pre-grated parmesan.
Thanks, JE! Real Fettuccine Alfredo is heavenly.
I'm certain that all of the other recipes we're seeing are tasty too . . . I love a nice, creamy cheese sauce with pasta and other things, I was just pointing out that not all macaroni-and-cheese recipes are "Alfredo."
Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!
