How I Make Way Better Alfredo

Today we're making blackened chicken alfredo pasta. This dish is pure comfort and is really easy to make. I only used 9 ounces of pappardelle pasta and 1 chicken breast, but the dish is so heavy it still makes 4 good servings. If you want to use a full pound of pasta, just double the recipe. I hope you enjoy this chicken alfredo pasta!

Two things. 1. Real alfredo (pasta al burro) is just pasta water, young Parmigiano Reggiano, butter, and salt. That's it. To make it you want to use really starchy pasta water to hold an emulsion. The way I'm showing you here with cream is easier and imo way better tasting. But that's just my opinion. 2. Cajun and blackened seasoning are indeed two different things - Cajun is spicier - but really either one will work well for this dish. I hope you all enjoy it and thanks for watching my videos!

[@itchykami]

One thing I've noticed, most pasta boxes suggest several times more water than is really needed. It just adds heating time. As long as the noodles can dance around in the water, you have enough. Some recipes use the noodle water to make sauces. Less water overall makes better noodle water. Pasta is a weird dish. At restaurants it's $15 per person, at home it's $3 for 5 people.

Sip and Feast, I normally am not a KZbin commenter, but I have made 3 of your dishes (short rib ragu, blackened chicken w/home made Alfredo sauce, and chicken parm) and they are some of the best dishes I have ever made. Your directions are easy to follow, and the results are simply amazing. I never thought I would be able to make food that tasted this good. My next step is to order cento plum tomato’s and crushed tomatoes to get closer to your recipes, I have been using Red Gold, because that is what my grocery store has. Please keep up the good work, and if you ever wonder if your videos are helping people, let me personally tell you that you have empowered me to create meals that I never would thought possible to taste as good as they do. I don’t want to eat out anymore, because your dishes are better than anything I could find at a restaurant in my part of the country (Odessa, Tx).

Wonderfully presented and looks delicious. I have no doubt it tastes delicious, as well. The beauty of the pasta water in so many applications when dialing in the perfect consistency and doneness cannot be overstated, IMO.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks very much! Pasta water is always key. That's why I always have the pot right next to me and never dump it into a colander.

[@ArcheryWarlock]

​@@SipandFeast Small tip: you could mention that it's important to keep the salinity of the pasta water in mind when adding it. I could see a relatively new cook making their dish too salty because they thought they would just cook the water off. Another consideration you could mention, is that keeping the volume of water to pasta low, will increase the starch concentration in the pasta water-- making it easier to add the creaminess!

[@SipandFeast]

@Matthew vdM. Those are good tips. I always cook with the same ~1%ish salinity level except for dishes like cacio e pepe or real alfredo. If I was going to make real alfredo I would use less salt in the water, because I would need an extremely starchy water to hold the cheese emulsion.

Nice combo and great, common sense instruction as always. I was "blackening" food a lot, sometimes unintentionally, after I heard of Paul Prudhomme's redfish years ago. I liked blackened steak, had it a few times in restaurants, but it was either too salty or too spicy, just like the commercial seasonings. So I made my own seasoning minus the salt, like you did, as well as the excessive heat. Your Alfredo sounds great, this meal reminded me of the steak and that creamy chestnut side I told you about.

[@roeshambo]

One tip would be to wait to add the parm to the cream/butter mixture. Problem with white cheeses is if they are gradually heated up, they tend to remain chunky or have a somewhat chalky texture. Only add the cheese once the base is screaming hot so it melts as fast as possible.

[@PaulTheTruthPierce34]

It’s sketchy to get cream “screaming hot” and super easy to burn and ruin your sauce , that’s probably why he did it the way he did

[@seangrover938]

@@PaulTheTruthPierce34 I agree with this. But I also subscribe to the idea that cheese (and cheese sauce) should not be boiled or even simmered, including the cream. Any cheese sauce, when prepared like fondue will always turn out silky. The problem with the low and slow method (usually involving a double boiler) is that the cheese tends to clump, it turns stringy, and will not properly melt if made in large batches. The solution to that is to add the cheese in small batches and to use an immersion blender if necessary. But I agree - scorching hot cream should not be part of any cooking process IMO.

[@timmerrill]

Pay no attention to the authentic food police trolls. They choose to have no comprehension or desire to learn of why authentic recipes get changed or modified based on their migration to different geographic regions, cultures, and eras. Just because a food recipe starts out one way, doesn't mean that it remains that way forever. They morph over time due to necessity, modernization of cooking methods, and the quality of available ingredients. That's the case with Americanized Alfredo sauce. Back in the early 1900s, when the sauce was "invented" by Alfredo di Lelio, Americans just didn't have access to the same high quality butter and cheese that was available in Italy. Using heavy cream brings back in a lot of the dairy richness that was lacking in inferior American Parmesan cheese and butter. Italian Americans are pretty good at figuring out substitutions, and heavy cream worked good enough. Also, one believing that no true Italian in Italy ever made Alfredo sauce with garlic and/or parsley is a bit naive. I have Italian immigrant friends now living here that shave truffles into their Alfredo sauce. I'm not going to tell them that they're doing it wrong. Traditional, authentic paella is made with snails and rabbit. My grandfather was born in Spain in 1892 and immigrated to the U.S. to live out his days here. He never used snails or rabbit in his paella, and nobody ever said to him that his paella wasn't authentic. If they had, it may have been the last words they ever spoke. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
