Making Homemade Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce

Video Transcript

" Hi! I'm Louis Ortiz on behalf of Expert Village and we are back to show you the final steps to the Alfredo Sauce that we are making from scratch. As you can see, I've got a nice bubbly consistency in the middle and the heavy cream is reduced now to the point where we've got a nice thick consistency which is what we like. For the icing on the cake, if you will, we are going to go ahead and turn that off completely. I've got a spoon here just to show you what kind of consistency we are looking for; nice and thick, all one color which is what we are trying to get. What I am going to do at the end here is just fold in an egg yolk, so we are going to drop him in there. I want to turn the heat off because the aluminum is going to hold quite a bit of heat any way and if I fold this egg yolk into it and there is too much heat, the egg yolk will cook and that is really not what we want to happen. We just want to kind of fold that into this finished product, so we have a nice rich flavor and that egg yolk acts as a thickener as well. So now at this point, we've got our fresh pasta. In this case, this instance, we've used some Fettuccine which we just held off into the side of the pan. Since I am lowering this in here, I am just kind of separating it with my hands. All I'm going to do is just kind of turn this around and you can use a pair of tongs if you wish. I'm just using this spoon and I'm being nice and gentle in coating the pasta with the sauce. I've got a little bit of residual sauce there which is okay. I've got some noodles if you want to go ahead and add those in so that it all gets used up. At this point, I would top it off with a protein if you so choose. I like cooking shrimp and things of that nature separately; chicken as well. Grill that separately and just hold it warm off to the side and add it to the pasta at the very end so that you've got some really well defined separate flavors in the dish. That my friends is the finished product with fresh Fettuccine pasta and fresh made from fresh Alfredo. So enjoy those and hopefully that helps you with a new recipe."
