Alfredo Pasta

Butter

Parmigiano Reggiano (as much as you like!)

FOR THE FRESH PASTA

00 flour (8.8 ounces)

Organic eggs

tagliatelle (or fettucine pasta)

tbsp Rock salt

HOW TO MAKE THE PASTA

Alfredo pasta is best served with egg pasta so start by making this.

Pour the flour on your bench or a wooden board and create a well using your fingers – make the well big enough for your eggs to fit and not spill out.

Crack the eggs inside the well and whisk them (using your fingers or a fork) before slowly pushing the flour from the edges of the well into the egg and mixing as you go.

Repeat this and keep mixing the flour through until all of the egg is combined. Now start bringing it all together until you form a dough and start kneading it with your hands.

Once there is no more flour and the dough ball is nice and smooth, cover it with a bowl and leave it to rest for 10 minutes.

After the dough has rested, cut it onto portions to stretch out and eventually cut into strands for your alfredo pasta recipe.

If using a pasta machine, turn the knob to the widest setting, sprinkle flour onto the machine, press the pasta together to help it fit through and take it through the pasta machine.

Fold this over and take it through one more time.

Now, change the setting until you reach the desired pasta thickness. (The machine I am using works best up to the 6th setting).

You can then pass the pasta sheet through your chosen pasta form and be sure to mix this with flour once you leave it to the side too.

Leave the pasta to the side and cover them with a kitchen towel.

HOW TO COOK THE PASTA ALFREDO:

Put a large pot filled with water on your stove to boil and add a tablespoon of rock salt.

Once the salt has dissolved, add the fresh pasta – this should take around 3 minutes to cook.

After the pasta has been cooking for 2 minutes, collect a mug full of pasta water and leave it to the side.

Strain your pasta using a set of tongs and place it directly into the wide bowl. Place this bowl on top of your pot (the one you were boiling your pasta in) and add the butter.

Mix the butter through using your tongs until it has smothered all of the golden strands of pasta.

Add a touch of pasta water while the butter is melting and continue to mix well.

Once the butter has melted, remove the bowl from the pot (protect the sides of the plate/your hands if you need to!) and quickly add two tablespoons of pasta water along with 2/3 of the parmigiano reggiano cheese.

Combine this really well until you create a creamy texture.

Add another two tablespoons of pasta water, mix through again, add the rest of the parmigiano and continue mixing.

Add one final tablespoon of pasta water, mixing it through while the cream forms and it’s ready!

E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!

Alfredo Pasta is a recipe that invites a lot of discussion –in simple terms, it’s a silky egg pasta smothered with melted butter and parmigiano cheese but today, the authentic recipe has gotten a little lost. This is another episode in my series where I make my version of fake Italian food and even though this originated in Rome in the1890’s the Alfredo Pasta recipe dish is constantly recreated incorrectly outside of Italy – possibly even more than Carbonara!
Maybe one of the simplest dishes to recreate, its main attraction (when it was first invented) was actually the theatrical way it was served right at the table. 
Join me to see how one of the most-watched Alfredo Pasta recipes on YouTube completely destroys the original and keep watching to see how the REAL DEAL is made (by me)! The trick? Pasta water and quality ingredients – so don’t change a thing.

How to Make FETTUCCINE ALFREDO Like an Italian

Sicilian Arancini

Arborio rice (17 ounces)

¼ Onion (chopped)

Pecorino Romano (Or Parmigiano Reggiano)

120 Butter (4 ounces)

L Vegetable stock (4 ounces. 4 cups)

120 g/4 oz butter (for cooked rice)

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

Ground beef (17 ounces)

Peas (3.5 ounces)

Tomato paste (4 ounces)

Carrot (chopped)

Celery stick (chopped)

½ Onion (chopped)

basil

Butter (1.7 oz. Optional)

mozzarella

dry mozzarella (or provolone)

tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

Salt & pepper

Sicilian Arancini Coating:

Bread crumbs

Eggs (Beaten)

Pastella (flour + water mixture - optional)

How to make the rice

Start this Sicilian arancini recipe by adding five tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a large pot on medium heat with ¼ of chopped onion. Stir constantly until the onion is golden brown (about seven minutes).

Once browned, add the vegetable stock, butter, and one tablespoon of tomato paste and bring this to a boil.

Next, add the rice, stir quickly, then cover with the lid. Cook the rice until the water absorbs, making sure to stir occasionally.

When the rice is ready, add in another portion of butter, stirring until it melts so it will be extra delicious.

Now spread the hot rice straight onto your chilled tray reaching right into the edges using a wooden spoon – be gentle or the rice could break! Then top with pecorino or parmesan cheese.

Let the rice rest for about one hour so it can cool and the cheese will melt into it.

How to make the Arancini filling

Let's make the beautiful filling for the Sicilian arancini! Place a large pan on the stove at a medium heat, then add a generous amount of EVOO and the celery, onions, carrot.

Cook this sofrito for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Then, add the ground beef until it is browned. Stir constantly to create a beautiful flavor – this arancini recipe is all about the most sensational aromas and flavours!

Add the peas, tomato paste, a splash of water, and tear some basil with your hands before adding it to the pan. Keep stirring until everything is combined. Then drop the heat to a lower temperature and let this simmer for about 20 minutes.

Stir the mixture and add water as needed, so the arancini filling does not dry out—season with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Transfer the cooked meat mixture to a large bowl to cool down in the fridge for one hour.

How to assemble this Arancini recipe:

Now that the rice and filling are prepped, it’s time for the final Sicilian arancini assembly! Before you start, slice the fresh mozzarella into small cubes, as this will help it to melt better!

Take your chilled rice and form a pocket in the palm of your hand; add a generous amount of meat and cheese “filling” into the middle.

Add another scoop of rice and form into a ball by pressing to get the moisture out.

Place your formed Sicilian rice balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

If you don’t have eggs, you can make a “pastella” which is a mixture of flour and water to coat the arancini balls with before finishing them off with breadcrumbs. OR, use two beaten eggs and coat each ball. Then roll each one in fresh breadcrumbs.

Set these aside on a tray lined with baking paper. Repeat until you have coated each rice ball.

Bring sunflower oil to 180°C/356°F in a pot on your stove, then add a few rice balls in at a time (depending on the size of your pot), making sure they have enough room.

Fry each ball for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.

Amazing recipe. Uses this recipe as my first go at making arancini’s and they were delicious. Will definitely use this recipe again.

For those who are wondering, this delicious recipe makes 12 big arancini balls. That said 500g minced meat ragu is plenty. You can easily adjust the ragu around 150g meat.

Made these for our extended 3th Christmas day.

It does take some time to make but man it is worth it! 
They are really delicious and the rice which is cooked with tomato puree really adds some taste to it.

Thanks for this great recipe! I will certainly make it again.

This Sicilian Arancini recipe is traditional, authentic and gooey-licious! These crispy, golden balls are filled with al dente rice, tender ground beef, fresh basil and the most aromatic flavours..not to mention divine, melted cheese! They are then coated in fresh breadcrumbs, deep fried and MUST BE EATEN HOT.

Arancini are arguably one of the most famous Italian savoury delights that exist, and I cannot get enough. In Sicily the fillings will amaze you – do you have a favourite?

How to Make SICILIAN ARANCINI Like an Italian

Pesto Pizza

pizza dough

Flour

Pesto Genovese

Buffalo mozzarella

Pistachio nuts

Italian mortadella

Burrata cheese

parmesan cheese

To make a pesto pizza, you need a beautiful fresh ball of pizza dough!

Pre-heat your oven to 250 degrees celcious (482F) and dust the kitchen bench or your wooden board with plain flour.

The best way to stretch out the dough is by using the tips of your fingers and pressing down into the ball, until it starts to spread out, at which point you then use the palm of your hand to stretch it into a circular like shape.

Next, open your jar of pesto and scoop out a generous amount, putting it on to the dough and then spreading it evenly all over to create the delicious pesto pizza base.

Now, using your hands, rip pieces of buffalo mozzarella and place them all over your pesto pizza dough, making sure there is some on each slice!

Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top – using as little or as much as you like!

Move the pizza tray close to your dough and carefully stretch the pesto pizza on top of it before drizzling a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the top.

This pesto pizza recipe allows for approx. 7 minutes baking time – but keep an eye on it! Cooking time all depends on your pizza dough thickness and how hot the oven gets.

Remove the tray from your oven and place a burrata cheese in the middle, spreading slices of mortadella all around the pesto pizza.

Add a drizzle of pesto to the top of your burrata and then sprinkle crushed pistachio nuts all over it.

Make a slice in the burrata and press some of the cheese out of it.

PESTO PIZZA RECIPE: This pesto pizza recipe is Pizza porn at its absolute best AND, it will change your favourite pizza toppings for good! With a generous lather of basil pesto, creamy buffalo mozzarella and thinly sliced mortadella, the burrata in the centre and pistachio nuts are literally almost too much to handle! Who knew that a pesto pizza would bring a new marriage of ingredients together – mortadella and burrata definitely had pistachio confetti at the wedding! Definitively, drool-worthy.
