Betty's Luscious Fettucini Alfredo Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make her Luscious Fettucini Alfredo recipe. It is creamy and full of wonderful Parmesan cheese--a real winner!

Ingredients:

6 oz. uncooked fettucini noodles
1/2 pot of water, salted with 1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
12 oz. (1 1/2 cups) grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups milk (I use skim milk.)
1/4 teaspoon salt
dry grated Parmesan cheese for sprinkling over the top to taste
parsley for garnishing the top

Fill a medium to large pot one-half full of water. Add 1 tablespoon salt, and bring the water to a full boil. Add the 12 oz. fettucini noodles, and bring them to a boil. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until al dente (chewy--not mushy). While the noodles are cooking, prepare your Alfredo sauce. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan on the stove. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup flour an stir vigorously, until the two are blended into a roux. Add 12 oz. (1 1/2 cups) grated Parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 cups milk (I use skim milk), and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Now cook and stir continuously for a minute or two, and then occasionally. The sauce should be thick and smooth about the same time that the noodles are cooked. Drain the noodles in a collander in the sink and place the collander containing the noodles on top of the pot. Transfer the drained noodles to a serving dish (oblong and deep is good). Pour the Alfredo sauce over the noodles in about three different parts, mixing each time you pour in more of the sauce. When you have added enough sauce to your taste, sprinkle the top with dry grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with fresh parsley, snipped over the top with kitchen shears. Serve hot with Italian bread and olive oil for dipping the bread. Buon appetito!

I know I try to avoid heavy whip cream at all cost, but is it used for a creamier texture? I notice some use rough (dont know how to spell it), and some heavy cream.

[bettyskitchen]

@myiphonerocks3gS Heavy cream does make this dish creamier, but I do not like to add a lot of cream, because of the fat. I just use butter and flour and then add skim milk, after the Parmesan cheese is added, the sauce tastes wonderful.

Looks like a lot lower fat content than the traditional heavy cream version :)

[bettyskitchen]

@StarlightAU Yes, this is lower fat than most Fettucini Alfredo Recipes.

Most would use a wisk to blend lumps out.

[xXxEmzLoveRockxXx]

Usually to prevent the lumps forming you would heat the milk prior to putting into the roux and would put a little bit at a time mixing it in each time to make a thick creamy paste. Also to prevent the floury taste you can cook it out longer before adding the milk

Infusing the milk with something is great too such as cloves or bay leaf :)
