Christmas in the Vatican: the recipe for papal fettuccine – Italian Cuisine


What do you eat in the Vatican on Christmas Eve? We find out thanks to "The Vatican Christmas Cookbook" by the cook of the Swiss Guards who opens the doors of the papal kitchens to us and reveals this "hybrid" recipe

Recipes from all over the world arrive in the Vatican and since the Swiss guards must be Swiss, there are many Swiss recipes. Even at Christmas, the Italian recipes are all revisited, because after all the Vatican is a foreign land and not a district of Rome. Among these, collected in the book The Vatican Christmas Cookbook by David Geisser there is also the recipe for papal fettuccine on Christmas Eve. What are? The fusion of two very popular Italian firsts: carbonara and peas, cream and ham. Forgive them ladies because they don't know what they are doing.

Ingredients

500 g of fresh fettuccine
220 g of raw ham
120 g green peas
1 sweet onion
120 g pecorino romano
3 egg yolks
80 g of cooking cream
Oil
salt
Abundant pepper

Method

Boil the peas in salted water for a few minutes and set them aside. Cut the onion thin and fry it in a pan with the oil. When it becomes translucent, add the ham cut into thin strips and cook until it becomes just crisp. Boil the pasta. While the pasta is cooking, add the peas and cream to the pan and mix gently. Taste if salt is good, it will depend on the ham you have chosen. Beat the three egg yolks together with the pecorino and pepper. Add the fettuccine to the sauce, remove from heat, add the egg and pecorino mixture and stir. Serve immediately hot.

Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken – Italian Cuisine

Preparation time


The fettuccine alfredo with chicken are a recipe that in America is closely linked to Italian cuisine. In the United States, in fact, there is no Italian restaurant that does not serve the very famous fettuccine Alfredo! But the beauty is that this dish, here in Italy, hardly anyone knows! In reality it seems that the original recipe, with a very simple sauce based on butter and cheese, is truly Italian, dating back to no less than the 15th century, of Roman origins (the original name was in fact maccaroni romaneschi).
The recipe was then brought back into vogue at the beginning of the 20th century by a restaurateur, also from Rome, Alfredo Di Lello, hence the name. Between the 20s and 30s of the 1900s, fettuccine Alfredo then spread a lot in Italian-American restaurants, while here they have been forgotten. The version that has spread, however, involved the use of cream instead of butter: not only that, but many restaurants offer it precisely with the addition of chicken to the basic seasoning. Here I am, then, after this long preamble, to offer you my recipe for fettuccine alfredo with chicken 😉
