Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe
Fettuccine Alfredo is a pasta dish similar to that of pasta alla carbonara and traditionally made from fettuccine pasta, tossed with parmesan cheese, and butter. Since its debut in the US, several variations were made that almost deviated from the original recipe. Eggs, flour, olive oil, and asiago cheese were sometimes added for a twist in flavor and a much richer texture.
This particular recipe is inspired by Olive Gardens special alfredo sauce. You might notice that there is no butter involved in this recipe but the texture and taste is really rich and flavorful. I also added some bacon bits to push this up to the next level.

You are the best Vanjo!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge in cooking. I am craving for Seafood Fettuccini Alfredo @ this tm like the one they served in Olive Garden Restaurant & I reget that I bought a “ready made (Bertolli) alfredo sauce” in the jar earlier as I do not like a “ready made” stuff if I can have it done in traditional way and I thought you only cook Pinoy foods but I went to check your website and there it is….I pinched myself for not thinking about it. And now, I’m in the know. I appreciate it 🙂

Hi! I’ve been getting some nice recipes from your web. They’re all very yummy! My family loves it, especially the cassava cake, bistek tagalog, etc! I have requested this before and I hope you’re going to feature it in the near future. May I request for a “simple-to-understand” sans rival recipe? I found one in a different web but it’s not very clear…
Thanks a lot and more power!
