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!

Pasta with butter and cheese is what Italians cook when they don't have time to make a proper sauce. Speaking as a man with Italian father from Naples.

[@ADRIAN-zh4ti]

yep is like going to a restauran to eat a peanut butter sandwich

[@mojitobevandanazionale7059]

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. Your videos are always very "appetizing", congratulations.

[@swissfoodie3542]

I agree, its the same for me. When I go to a restaurant, I want to eat something "complicated" or something that I cant make at home. And not a simple dish, that I can prepare at home without any problems.

[@MatthewBaran]

Makes sense. I love cooking Italian and rarely find it better outside of my house so I rarely go for Italian out.

[@jjpark1989]

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.

[@Lemmy4555]

i hope with not that amount of butter otherwise your life will be significantly shorter lol

[@Cipollae]

@@Lemmy4555But that shorter life will have been significantly more fun!

[@PursuingHeaven]

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.

[@arthurford829]

Yes, but we really need a behind the scenes video about how Mark actually makes this happen.

[@plusfour1]

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]

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.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

Gotta have garlic That cream n garlic Omg 🤯

[@fabriziocolamartino5445]

In Italy doesn't exist a sauce called Alfredo... it's "pasta al burro" and it's not a recipe, it's something we eat when we are in a hurry...

[@ARoo-tru]

[@wasclywabbit]

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]

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.

[@kathleenhensley5951]

I make Carbonara with fresh eggs from under my own hens, and American bacon and a good quality Parmesan. it's nearly impossible to find a decent pancetta here. love it. a special treat.

[@ilgrandenebro8702]

[@eviljoy8426]

we don't call that pasta 'Alfredo' that pasta is 'Pasta burro e parmigiano - pasta butter and parmigiano' or 'Pasta in Bianco - Pasta in White' and it's not so special.. it's just for kids

[@aetius7139]

​@@alessandroarsuffi3062Its more to do with his personality rather than the food. Alfredo is more of a showman than a cook. He personally would show up. Make the pasta in front of guests and serve the plate himself. Kinda like why people like caesars salad. Its the novel experience people paying for. Not really the food itself.

For any Americans wanting to make the real deal, get some real parmigiano reggiano, American parmesan cheese is way lower quality. Real parmigiano will be labeled with DOP and be more expensive since it's imported overseas. Don't forget to get good natural butter.

[@bakerzermatt]

Italians don't know what Alfredo pasta is, and don't know what the American version is. Also, this dish isn't famous around the world, only in the US. However, everyone in Italy knows the dish you had in the video. It's just called butter pasta, or pasta with butter and parmesan (pasta al burro). In Italy it's a quick and easy dish, and also something you give to someone who is sick. It's about as common in Italy as a grilled cheese sandwich in the US. It's tasty, but Alfredo didn't invent it.

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.

As melting some butter in pasta is something you can claim as an invention. As italian, this is just ridicolous, everybody was doing that since...ever.

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.

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 🤣

Americans haven't changed anything. Italian immigrants adapted the dish in America. The native Americans didn't do it.

the waiters are clearly professional waiters. not high school kids.

This is slander against the true creator, Marie Calender.

8:12 But the spoon is not used that way. You have to turn the spoon ! 😀

[@marcotd7923]

Italian s don't use the spoon. It's useless to roll spaghetti

[@aris1956]

@@marcotd7923 Ma quello che io volevo dire, se tu vuoi usare il cucchiaio, usalo almeno in maniera giusta. Giralo dalla parte giusta e non come lo tiene lui in mano qui nel video. Nella maniera come lo tiene lui, è ridicolo. O Io lasci stare oppure se vuoi usarlo, usalo come si deve. Qui adesso non c’entra se gli italiani usino o meno il cucchiaio con gli spaghetti. Ognuno fa come gli pare. Io ad esempio ho sempre usato il cucchiaio con gli spaghetti e continuerò sempre ad usarlo. Non c’è una “legge” che me lo vieta. A casa sua ognuno fa quello che vuole.

Wow super easy to make, Gonna try this at home, Rome is to far from NYC 😂 One day, One day I will Visit Rome.

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]

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

[@AussieAngeS]

I watched it and thank you for that.@@zirchsoft

Been to Rome countless times. The food is always wonderful. But those carciofi alla giudia are heaven.

[@mucafit]

LOL, Mark doesn't know how to use spoon.

[@Cholo981]

Because it's expensive hospital food. Overcooked pasta pudding and meaningless rituals. Greatest tourist trap in the city

NAH CHINESS FOOD JAPAN korea FOODS IS BETTER SPANISH FOOD IS BETTER ITALY BORING

[@ameliasarno1210]

Such a beautiful city!! Happy you showed the original. I argue with people all the time that Alfredo is only butter and really good parmesean!!

[@JackLuong]

> Fettucine Alfredo doesn't exist in Italy > Americans need to stop adding cream and garlic to Alfredo, authentic Alfredo only has butter and parmigiano You need to choose one, Italians, you can't have it both ways

[@Baghuul]

Who cares. You silly food snob

[@Ampe96]

It’s called pasta al burro, and it’s just pasta with butter and parmigiano. If you add cream and whatever you Americans put it’s not pasta al burro, it’s this “Alfredo” which is not Italian but American. Really easy to understand honestly

[@robtriton]

Fett Alfredo pasta is an American dish. You will never find it being made in Sicily or Sardinia.

[@AussieAngeS]

That’s absolutely true

[@tachykardie_]

that's soooooo wrong. this is an Italian dish. butter and parmigiano. only that people in Sicily prefers the olive oil

[@andrecoleman1856]

invented in Rome 100 years ago but somehow it's American?

[@PROLIFIC_TRAVELS]

You been to Italy ?.

[@Mandragara]

It's because it's a Northern dish lol

[@erinmboehm]

New susbcriber- just found u! And I’m in love

[@undampedmule]

Well wow. I really love learning this history and recipe. I always do alfredo with a bechamel based sauce. I really am dying to try this out. And holy crap, you ate with that golden flatware... I wonder how many people have ever done so. Culinary history.

[@MarkAbroad]

Really appreciate it, that golden spoon really made the experience!
