$1425 vs $13 Fettuccine Alfredo: Pro Chef & Home Cook Swap Ingredients | Epicurious

  • Опубліковано 2 тра 2024
  • Professional chef instructor Frank Proto and home cook extraordinaire Emily are trading Fettuccine Alfredo recipes and hitting the kitchen for a cheesy showdown. We sent Emily an eye-popping $1,425 worth of supplies - everything she’d need to make Frank's decadent recipe, cheese wheel and all. Meanwhile, a modest $13 worth of ingredients was sent back the other way for Frank to finesse into something elevated in his style. Food scientist Rose dialed in to assist our dear Emily with a few questions she had along the way. Which Fettuccine Alfredo has you saying "Molto bene?"

    i think this is very important to note, if you are going to use a towel like he did make sure you dont use fabric softener in the dryer or air dry them, and id even go as far as not using fabric softener in the wash either, and use unscented soap. I made this mistake one time straining soup, wanted a broth as clear was water and i was like I'll just do it like the chefs at the restaraunt i worked at, and boom my soup tasted like april fresh downy with a hint of outdoor fresh bounce dryer sheets.

    • @stevemanart
      @stevemanart 10 місяців тому +66

      And if we're being historically accurate, the Alfredo recipe, just like spaghetti & meatballs and chicken parm, was invented in America by Italian immigrants that then found its way back to Italy. But becuase it is a food that could have existed before the establishment of the Atlantic trade route it feels like it has more history to it than it really does.

      It totally would depend on how one would use that , the principal of coating cheese on a pasta wheel is by adding alcohol and setting it aflame so that the cheese melts. So more the flame more cheese irrespective of your pasta's portion, you can use it till you reach the last few inches of the wheel cause below that is a layer of wax. Hope this helps

    This was a surprisingly delightful video. Not my style of time killer content, but it is inspiring me to get back into the habit of cheffing as i call it haha. I am by no means a chef or a talented cook or baker, but my pastas are amazing. Especially my homemade alfredo sauce. It does not follow any standard recipe and i dont know if it can be called an alfredo, but i think after seeing this video i am going to tweak it by using some of that cheese in the video and the rinds to make the water. That coupled with the 7 cheese blend that i start with does indeed sound like a success. Not an italian bone in my Slavic body but for some reason i can do Italian dishes. Thats all i can do. I tried fillo dough once, never again. I am no baker and what i produce from my baking attempts should be considered criminal in nature.

    I spoke to an Italian man who we took to Olive Garden to see how it compares to real Italian food. He said 1. It's about 30% close to what they eat 2. They don't eat fettuccine Alfredo. 3. He liked it but the portions were way too big.

    Anyone can use amazing things to make something nice, but it takes a true artist to take something simple and make it wonderful.

    4:48 As italian I can confirm Alfredo fettuccine is not an italian dish.
    But I love you guys!
