FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This marvelous recipe is one I got off this newsgroup some months back, but am reposting for the Alfredo request since I have no idea if the original poster is still around to see the new request. Since it isn't mine, I've also included the original poster's notes and attribution. Yummy stuff! Introduction: This is the real thing. You will not find a better Fettuccine Alfredo other than at Alfredo's in Rome, Italy. The secret to his sauce is in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (don't even try this recipe without it), the balance of the pepper and nutmeg. For some reason restaurants never get it right. Be warned that the sauce is heavy. This recipe serves 2. Recipe by Ricardo Batista Fettuccine Alfredo

HOMEMADE FETTUCCINE ALFREDO
This easy Alfredo sauce is creamy, comforting and coats fettuccine noodles in fine fashion. This recipe is wonderful as is, but sometimes I like to add sliced fresh mushrooms and black olives that have been sautéed in butter and garlic. -Jo Gray, Park City, Montana

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be. This is especially true for the cheese and butter.
- Don't overcook the noodles. Cook them until they are al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will help them hold their shape and texture in the sauce.
- Make sure the sauce is thick and creamy. This is the key to a good Alfredo sauce. If the sauce is too thin, it will not coat the noodles properly.
- Add the cheese slowly and stir constantly. This will help prevent the cheese from clumping. Melted Parmesan can stick to metal or burn easily. Keep stirring parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and bubbly.
- Serve the dish immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when it is served hot and fresh.
