    American Alfredo always has cream in it, which it shouldn't. Same with carbonara. It's hard to find a restaurant in the US that doesn't make these dishes without all that gloppy cream.

    I'm italian and I had never heard of Alfredo as an italian dish, I guess it's only famous for americans/tourists like you mentioned… We don't call this [his] or [her] fettuccine cause it's just pasta, burro e parmigiano. Still, you pointed out the keys of the recipe, as always 😉👏🏻

    To me the funniest thing is that for decades all of my Italian friends insist that Alfredo is NOT and Italian dish. I'm also cracking up that you don't know who Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks is.

    The more you know…

    I gotta say as Alfredo lover for my whole life the best pasta for this sauce is actually cheese ravioli rather then fettuccine. Personally i prefer a cheese ravioli stuffed with spinach and lemon. A restaurant in Napa, California does it the best! Also, Chicken in fettuccine Alfredo ruins the dish and rather I suggest if you want to add a meat go with a gamey meat because the Alfredo sauce can really work well with meats that are gamey since the Alfredo sauce takes away the gameness of the meats very splendidly!

    Its weird to hear you of all people havent had this.
    As an American. Its kinda as ubiquitous as Spaghetti. I much prefer to have Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo than Spaghetti though.
    And yes, We add protein, thicker fettuccini noodles, and often garlic. because we're having it as a main course, not some gourmet taster. So its a workhorse dish. Its still very simple, In the case of shrimp, the flavor of the shrimp itself marries verry well with the creamy cheesy funk.

    So how is this different from Fettucine Al Burro? If I remember correctly isn't Al Burro an emulsification between butter, pasta water, and parmesan as well? Is the only difference that this recipe used fresh pasta while with al burro you'd use dry pasta and want al dente or am I missing something? LMK.
