You love hearing people mispronounce words.. thank God the Italians that moved to Australia with my grand parents didn’t pick up that garbage way of speaking
It is likely just like regular pesto; into a food processor put fresh basil leaves, nuts, garlic, then drizzle in olive oil, slowly, then add finely grated parm.
@@donnawestbrook8992 making it yourself is the best way. I have a kiddo with a nut allergy (like she is allergic to three different nuts, one cashiews is her worse), alot of store baught pesto now have cashiews instead of pine nuts. It's not to expensive and you can substitute to your hearts desire.
The cream cheese is brilliant because it costs so much less than the parm, and is less salty. Not to mention it enhances the natural tang of the cheese, and the creaminess. I think I'll try try this with tomato pesto. 😋
as a Sicilian-American it is SACRALIDGE to use cream cheese...Alfredo is butter, pasta water and Parmaggiano Reggiano...even if you use the stuff in the green container it's better than adding cream cheese which is a lazy way to make alfredo! If you need to have a creamy Alfredo again all you need is butter, pasta water, half and half or milk or heavy cream until just under a boil then add shredded parmesan, NOT THE GREEN CAN, and there is creamy Alfredo without the cream cheese...I don't get it, it's absolutely never needed, Olive Garden ruined Alfredo and now America believes it's made with cream cheese. It's not.
I always thought those two sauces on their own were missing a little something but maybe each was just missing the other. Can't wait to try this! Thanks for posting.
@jan-willembavinck3650 do you make bechamel lasagna? I always made it with ricotta, but this year ny Swiss friend taught ne the bechamel way. It's so good!
The way Italians (me) make Alfredo is butter fresh grated cheese and pasta water. You make the pasta first then in a saute pan add pasta then the cheese , butter , pasta water and keep layering it until desired creaminess.
That looks delicious. I use European butter. I actually use Irish butter. They have butter from all parts of Europe, but the one I have is specifically an Irish brand it’s an Irish brand of butter I got my Irish butter from my grandma my grandma swears that Irish butter is the best. I agree. I told my mom I’m no longer buying any other brands of butter except for this Irish brand I started buying my grandma bought for me.
I use a bit of cream cheese in every pasta sauce and it's indeed a game changer! And not only in pasta sauces...it works in any sauce! As for the pistachio pesto... Must try!!
Hear me out… a can of coconut milk. It adds a richness. Not coconutty. I make mine the same way you do but add the coconut milk in place of the heavy cream.
Ok now I am gonna make some of that pesto, I was wondering what to do with mine. But also if you want it next level, brown your butter, and add just a tiny pinch of nutmeg, if you can taste it, you used too much, but it really makes the flavors pop. Looks absolutely wonderful
I add pesto all the time. Raised by Sicilians and my Papa used to do this with leftover Alfredo to "re invent" it for us to eat the next day for lunch. ❤
one surprise I add, it's like 1 drop of apple cider vinegar. I know that sounds weird, but it works. And it really takes almost nothing to make the difference. I would almost put it in a spritz bottle and give it half of a squeeze just to spread the vinegar over the dish.
Secret ITALIANS use butter and parmasean...thats it. when you put in the wet pasta, and stir, it forms an emulsion with the butter and cheese and THAT is what makes the alfredo sauce
Wow, you are the only other person I have come across that adds cream cheese to Alfredo sauce. I make Alfredo sauce that way too, so I'm going to have to try that little secret somethin' somethin'.
Oh my GOODNESS!!!! I feel so special because I have been adding pesto to my homemade alfredo sauce for YEARS! And I swear it started because I was like "Ooh imma add some pesto to it!"❤ ❤❤❤

@CiciAngel696me when I don’t understand basic food science
@CiciAngel696it thickens the sauce bc it’s starchy water
The starch thickens the sauce@CiciAngel696
@CiciAngel696do you think starch is.. dirt or poison or something? It’s food LOL

Nice. I add a bunch of chopped steamed broccoli (fresh) and ground black pepper to alfredo.

My Italian grandmother just came back from the dead and slapped me for watching this.
I’m personally a fan of the simplicity of good butter, parm, and pasta water, and maybe a little pepper if I’m feeling feisty.
Yeah cause you're Roman roots.
Best part of the video was feeding the lil Angel cutie pie!! 🥰😍💯

What about grated nutmeg? It gives Alfredo Sauce a wonderful taste.
Exactly what I was going to say
Not that this was Alfredo but nutmeg is usually added to a Mornay, which is a bit closer to what was made here.
Hmm I do add nutmeg to my white sauce in lasagna
@jan-willembavinck3650 do you make bechamel lasagna? I always made it with ricotta, but this year ny Swiss friend taught ne the bechamel way. It's so good!
@@pippa3150 yes, my mum used to make it with bechamel so I always do it that way... Ricotta sounds good too though!

What no cream cheese? lol joking, adding that is almost as bad as making Lasagna with cottage cheese instead of ricotta, cringe
Sounds like buttered noodles lol
Yes 100% Alfredo is 3 ingredients
No one on earth cares what Italians do. No one.
Much more than buttered noodles .. it's an emulsion .. check out Cooking with Shereen for the entire, proper technique
Lil mama face was too cute!....she looked like "Damn!....that's GOODT!😳"
Been doing this for years. So good.
Pistachio pesto!! Sounds like a recipe I need!
I use angel hair pasta I use pesto in my pasta quite regularly it's yummy like no other.
Trash
My favorite dish, enjoy it with shirp and green peas, yummy. Thank you 😊.

Never had pistachio pesto before but I LOVE garlic pesto on stuff like this. And you’re right, with seared chicken…it’s next level.
Lo voy hacer se ve riquísimo ❤❤😋😋😋👌👌
This is NOT going to fly with the Italians.
Can we get a recipe on the pistachio pesto!!! Sheesh that sounds amazing!!
Basil pesto is liiiiiife! So freakin good! I personally LOVE THE CLASSICO basil pesto! It’s crack 🤤
I use a bit of cream cheese in every pasta sauce and it's indeed a game changer! And not only in pasta sauces...it works in any sauce!
As for the pistachio pesto... Must try!!
Basil pesto pasta with seasoned chicken is one of my go to meals so seeing you make an Alfredo with pesto looks so good
Hear me out… a can of coconut milk. It adds a richness. Not coconutty. I make mine the same way you do but add the coconut milk in place of the heavy cream.
Thanks for showing the Alfredo sauce, I usually bought Alfredo in a jar. Will use this for now on!! 😋❤
Lil baby was so cuteeeeee❤❤❤❤❤
I make mine with coconut milk. Works great.
True authentic Alfredo sauce has a pinch or dash of nutmeg that should be your secret ingredient
Nutmeg is right!
That add nutmeg too! It round out the flavor. Learned that in culinary school
There’s also no cream in authentic Alfredo sauce either…..
Nutmeg is nasty, I don't add it to anything!
It most certainly doesn't have cream cheese in it.
Honestly that was a great addition to the Alfredo. Love pesto!!
This looks amazing!! 🤩
Awww she's a cutie 💓
Good idea, Looks good, I like to use Kirkland's pesto sauce in Spaghetti it also turns it up a notch.
Yup you should always add some of the pasta water
My arteries clogged just by watching this
Looks good 😋
You had me at pistachio ❤
I think you’ll end up having a heart attack at the table
The accent alone lets me know it’s good. So I’ll do it
I'm sure it's good. Don't let the accent trick you to think this is Alfredo sauce.
The accent puts me off completely, Americans eat dogshit food.
Looks good and the way you say “sauce” is sending meeee. Lol love it!❤
Italians are gagging… butter, cream, Parmesan. Pepper if you’re feeling rebellious, but don’t let them catch you. DONE!
Costco's Kirkland Pesto Sauce is fantastic! Even restaurants use it!
Looks delicious! And what a precious lil baby at the end!! 🥺💖
I did this with some tortellini a few days ago. It was amazing 🤌🏽
Make some tortellini or cheese ravioli to add to the spaghetti or fettuccine. The texture is very good !
Pesto do make sauce taste good. Especially in spaghetti 🍝! Try it! It's great!
U can tell by the accent that shit gon slap
Hmmmm to each their own!
My thing is a lot of lemon. Makes dish taste lighter and fresher.. if that makes sense.
I usually add a squeeze of lemon.
Looks yummy 😋
Try adding some diced artichoke hearts!!! ❤
Now you're talking! 🔥
My son has a severe pistachio allergy… I hope you tell your guests before hand!! Aside from that it sounds great!
Doesn’t add salt because the parm is salty, but adds garlic powder despite having added garlic to the butter in the beginning lol
This looks amazing! I’m trying it! Thanks!
Try a little fresh grated nutmeg.... Damn it's amazing
I’m glad I waited till the end. What a cutie pie 💝
This looks delicious, I’ll be trying it with regular pesto🙌
most people use a lot of butter when they can't cook properly
Looks good, I love and perfer linguini noodles. Going to try this out. Thank you
Pistachio pesto sounds fuckin amazing
....then you get a heart attack 😂
I always use pesto when making Alfredo! Haven’t used pistachio pesto but it will turn it up a notch
yum looks so good i must try with pistachio pesto
My stomach bubblin’ 😮😅
Lawd have merc-ay!

You will not believe how much this gigantic amount of a very potent ingredient will change the flavor or the dish
I love Alfredo ...❤❤
Don’t ever disrespect me with your 1000000 calorie Alfredo

alfredo has nutmeg, not garlic
Yaaas I add pesto to all my pasta sauces …shhh it was a secret you wasn’t supposed to tell 😂
Me stuffing myself as I grab my heart.
I really thought I was the only one who adds pesto to alfredo sauce 😅 I'm so happy to see others do it too
Store bought pesto is crazy man, nah😂
I do this and i add it to butter sauce with my shrimp
Heart attack on a plate.
Lol as soon as the video started I was like "I bet it's pesto". Sounds really good.
That honestly looks Delicious 😋❤
This is how I make my sauce with a little less butter lol and other seasonings!
I like adding a bit of tomato basil vinaigrette
Secret: all you need is the butter, garlic, cream cheese and parmessan. The cream is in the cheese. Add pasta water as needed.
Lots of pepper
Secret ITALIANS use butter and parmasean...thats it. when you put in the wet pasta, and stir, it forms an emulsion with the butter and cheese and THAT is what makes the alfredo sauce
Cool, I didn’t know that!
@Bozemanjustin Thanks. Good to know the authentic Italian preparation.
@@Bozemanjustin I was just going to say the same thing. I wish they wouldn’t use cream cheese.

This WORKS! It’s a game changer. Discovered this one night I had a fight with Vodka and forgot what pasta I was making. 😂🤷🏽♀️
Pistachio pesto is the absolute best !!!

It’s the best, have always loved it this way

Sells it to me, and then has a 2 years old make the taste test! 😂😂😂
I add pesto to my alfredo too❤
Holy butter
Where do i get a log like THAT😭😂
Wow that looks good 😋
Aww the baby ❤❤
Another secret hint - a tablespoon of dry sherry!!!!!
The Accent is the real secret ingredient
You can literally add anything to Alfredo and it will taste good
I'm actually gonna try this.
I like adding ranch powder or buttermilk ranch to the mix too lol 😅
