Classic Fettuccini Alfredo

The classic Fettuccini Alfredo was invented in Rome at a place called Ristorante Afredo alla Scrofa.

Does classic Fettuccini Alfredo have garlic and cream? You might be surprised to know it does not.

In fact, the original, real and classic Fettuccini Alfredo has only three ingredients. Fettuccini, sweet whole butter and aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. That’s it! You will be flabbergasted at how delicious these three simple ingredients work together to create pasta magic.

And that is exactly how Mama Marucci’s serves this iconic dish which has been destroyed with “improvements” by so many “chefs”. In the 80’s it was a restaurant standard in fine dining rooms across the country but within a few years, it had worked its way into kitchens at every level. Once a very special dish, it’s now offered on fast food pizzas and packaged industrially as a sauce that is sold to restaurants.

At Mama Marucci’s we bring this beautiful dish back to life by paying homage to its roots and therefore prepare it the exact way you’ll find it at Alfredo’s today. When you taste the way it’s supposed to be you’ll never order Fettuccini Alfredo in a restaurant again.

The pasta course is meant to be enjoyed in small quantities so as not to get you too full before the main meal. In addition, the pasta does not wait for the guests, rather, the guests wait for the pasta. At Mama Marucci’s we honor this by making you wait (in a nice way) and by giving just the right amount to make you want more.
