Fettuccine Alfredo is a classic Italian pasta dish that is characterized by its rich, creamy Alfredo sauce. The dish is simple to make, yet elegant and flavorful, making it a popular choice for both home cooks and restaurant-goers. While there are many variations of Fettuccine Alfredo, the traditional recipe consists of fettuccine pasta, butter, Parmesan cheese, and cream. The sauce is typically made by melting butter in a pan, then adding flour and milk to create a roux. The roux is then cooked for a few minutes, until it is thick and bubbly. Parmesan cheese is then added to the roux, along with salt and pepper, to taste. The sauce is then poured over the cooked fettuccine pasta and served immediately.

SMOKED SALMON FETTUCCINE WITH HEALTHY DILL ALFREDO SAUCE
"Healthy alfredo sauce" is probably an oxymoron, but this is the way I always make a creamy sauce for pasta. It's obviously not an authentic alfredo, but we like it. I created this dish to use up some smoked salmon, and we totally enjoyed it. While I think you can adjust most of the ingredients here to your taste, I wouldn't mess with the smoked salmon or the capers, since they really are the dominant flavors.

DAIKON 'FETTUCCINE' WITH CYNDI'S VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE
I got this recipe from "The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet" book by Rose Elliott. Description from book: Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce, which I've adapted just slightly by using almonds instead of cashews, is wonderful: really creamy and delicious, and packed with protein. It's great with vegetable 'pasta' and I also like it with Roasted Vegetables and Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon. You can use it whenever you want to add some extra protein to a meal. If you can get daikon (a long, white radish), it makes lovely 'fettuccine' and is very low in carbs - but you can also use courgettes, turnips or kohlrabi, for varying, slightly higher carb counts.

Steps:
- Start with the sauce. Put the tofu and garlic into a food processor and whiz until smooth. Then add the almonds and basil and whiz again until as smooth as possible.
- Add the lemon juice and enough of the water - or more - to got a creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a saucepan and set aside.
- Bring half a saucepan of water to the boil. Meanwhile, cut the daikon into long, thin ribbons by running a swivel potato down the length.
- Put the ribbons into the boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for about 4 minutes, or until al dente. Drain immediately and return to the pan.
- While the daikon is cooking, gently reheat the sauce.
- To serve, either add the sauce to the daikon and mix well, or toss, the daikon in a little olive oil, serve out onto plates and pour the creamy sauce over the top.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Cook it al dente, which means "to the tooth" in Italian. The pasta should be slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a large pot to cook the pasta so that it has plenty of room to move around.
- Don't rinse the pasta after cooking. This will remove the starch from the pasta, which is necessary for the sauce to adhere.
- Make sure the Alfredo sauce is hot and creamy before serving. If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk or cream.
- Garnish the pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
