FETTUCCINE ALFREDO 
1 lb. fettuccine
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 1/2 cups light cream or half & half
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon pepper
pinch of salt

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon salt when water is boiling.

Add fettuccine. Cook uncovered 10-12 minutes (or according to package directions). Drain; cover and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter. Saut chopped garlic over medium heat for 1 minute.

Stir in 1 1/2 cups cream or half & half (half & half = half milk/half cream).

Cook over medium heat 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly. When hot, stir in fettuccine. Add remaining cream or half and half, Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Stir to mix well.

After 1-2 minutes, when pasta is hot, serve accompanied by extra cheese for sprinkling, if desired. We garnished ours with edible flowers (optional).

HISTORY OF ALFREDO DI LELIO CREATOR OF FETTUCCINE all ALFREDO
We have the pleasure to tell you the history of our grandfather Alfredo Di Lelio, creator of fettuccine all Alfredo (recipe in the world known).
Alfredo di Lelio opened the restaurant "Alfredo" in Rome in 1914 (in Via della Scrofa), after leaving his first restaurant run by his mother Angelina in Rose Square (Piazza disappeared in 1910 following the construction of the Galleria Colonna / Sordi). In this local spread the fame, first to Rome and then in the world, of "fettuccine all 'Alfredo".
In 1943, during the war, Di Lelio gave the local to his collaborators.
In 1950 Alfredo Di Lelio decided to reopen with his son Armando (Alfredo II) his restaurant in Piazza Augusto Imperatore n.30 "Il Vero Alfredo", which is now managed by his nephews Alfredo (same name of grandfather) and Ines (the same name of his grandmother, wife of Alfredo Di Lelio, who were dedicated to the noodles).
In conclusion, the restaurant of Piazza Augusto Imperatore is following the family tradition of Alfredo Di Lelio and of his notes noodles.
We must clarify that other restaurants "Alfredo" in Rome and in Italy do not belong to the family tradition of "Il Vero Alfredo" of Piazza Augusto Imperatore in Rome.
We inform that the restaurant "Vero Alfredo" is in the registry of Historic Shops of Excellence of the City of Rome Capitale.

Best regards Alfredo e Ines Di Lelio

This is my original starter but I add chicken and mushrooms that are sauteed with garlic. It is amazing. Can add some fresh vegitables to it as well.

This was so incredibly easy and so delicious! I didn't have any garlic or even garlic powder in my house tonight but I did have dried onion flakes so I used that. It turned out to be even better than I could have hoped! I will actually keep using that instead of the garlic.. Was the prefect recipe- Thank you!!

Great recipe. I used soul seasoning instead of salt and tripled the garlic. It is a POWERFULLY GOOD sauce.

I made this for my [new] husband and he LOVED it! I added shrimp. It tasted almost exactly like Red Lobster's Shrimp Linguini Alfredo. Excellent! Thanks a bunch!

This was AMAZING :) It was simple and easy and my family and I loved it! I made a two small changes. I used milk instead of cream (because I ran out) and added some cut up chick breasts.

 Louise (California) says:
My husband said this was the best he had ever had, even from a restaurant. The only change I made was to omit the pepper and salt, and substitute a sprinkling of allspice at the very end.

It turned out very nice. I doubled the recipe, added nutmeg and 3 cubes chicken boullion and heated all the cream and melted the cheese by adding a little at a time before mixing in the pasta. Love it.

 Kim (Ohio) says:
I always add 1 teaspoon of nutmeg. It is the secret ingredient that makes my fettuccine so delicious.
