Introduction
Discover three ways to make Fettuccine Alfredo, ranging from Stephen's quick vegetable-and-cream version, Julie's classic starchy water-emulsified pan sauce, to Frank's professional handmade truffle-laminated pasta tossed in a cheese wheel.
Step 1
【Level 3 - Pasta Dough】Pour double zero flour onto a wooden board, create a well in the center, add 3 egg yolks, and slowly whisk with a fork to incorporate the flour. Knead into a firm dough, wrap in plastic, and let rest to relax the gluten.
Step 2
【Level 1 & 2 - Boiling Pasta】Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stephen (Level 1) adds dry pasta and lightly salts the water. Julie (Level 2) heavily salts the water and adds fresh pasta using a wooden spoon to prevent sticking.
Step 3
【Level 3 - Rolling & Laminating Pasta】Roll the rested dough through a pasta machine on progressively thinner settings. Shave fresh black summer truffles paper-thin onto the pasta sheet, fold the sheet over to laminate them, and run it through the roller again.
Step 4
【Level 3 - Cutting and Cooking】Fold the laminated pasta sheet and slice it into fettuccine strands. Boil the fresh pasta in rolling water for 2-3 minutes. Keep the water very starchy.
Step 5
【Level 1, 2, 3 - Draining and Starch Water】Stephen drains his pasta completely. Julie and Frank reserve a cup of the starchy pasta water to serve as the emulsifying base for their sauces.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Pasta water is a critical ingredient for authentic Italian Alfredo; the starch acts as a natural binder that emulsifies the cheese and butter without needing heavy cream.
Cultured butter contains lactic acid and diacetyl, providing a deeper, tangier flavor compared to regular sweet cream butter.
Always toss cooked pasta in the sauce for 1-2 minutes before plating; the starch on the outside of the pasta helps the sauce cling to each strand.
