Hi, I'm new here. My name's Di, and I live in Italy. Here, Fettuccine all'Alfredo doesn't have any cream in it. It's origin is from the Trattoria Da Alfredo in Via della Scrofa, Rome. It's simple and straightforward. You simply 'dress' the fettuccine with grated parmesan, butter, salt, black pepper and, optional, a little chopped sage. The original recipe doesn't have cream in it. I advise you buy a piece of parmesan cheese to grate, rather than but ready-grated, and don't overdo the butter. The use of cream is totally American, not Italian.
