ALFREDO'S OF ROME'S ORIGINAL FETTUCCINE ALFREDO

Alfredo's of Rome's Original Fettuccine Alfredo image

Recipe courtesy of Russell Bellanca, owner of Alfredo's of Rome. The Original Fettuccine Alfredo was created in 1914 by Alfredo Di Lelio, concocted to tempt the palate of his pregnant wife who had lost her appetite. Until now, the Original Fettuccine Alfredo has been a secret recipe, passed on from generation to generation. At the Alfredo restaurants, the fettuccine noodles are made fresh daily from a mix of three different flours, durum and organic eggs. For home use, however, the cook can purchase fresh fettuccine noodles at most supermarkets and deli's.

1 lb fresh very thin fettuccine
6 ounces unsalted butter
6 ounces parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated (aged 24 months)

Cook the fettuccine noodles in 1 gallon of salted boiling water for three minutes.
At the same time, mix the butter at room temperature in a bowl with the grated cheese until the cheese almost dissolves, forming a smooth cream. If using a mixer, this should not take more than three minutes at which time the noodles will be ready.
Strain the pasta leaving just a small amount of water and toss the noodles with the Alfredo sauce. Plate the preparation.

POOR MAN'S ALFREDO SAUCE AN ORIGINAL

Poor Man's Alfredo Sauce An Original image

I don't normally purchase Heavy Cream due to cost and limited usage. This subs very well and is quick and fail safe. This is just one of my many adaptations to "White Sauce" or "White Gravy".

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup(s) milk
2 tablespoon(s) heaping corn starch mixed in 1/2 cup cold water
4 to 6 ounce(s) sour cream
4 ounce(s) cream cheese (optional)
1/4 stick(s) butter or more
3 clove(s) garlic crushed and minced or more
2/3 cup(s) parmesan cheese dry or grated
1/3 teaspoon(s) salt
pinch(es) pepper -- white preferred it hides

Steps:

Warm 1 1/2 cup Milk in skillet just to low simmer. Mix Corn Starch in 1/2 cup Cold Water to make slurry, add to pan and stir. increase heat and stir until thickened, Corn Starch needs to come to rolling simmer or low boil to thicken. Then reduce heat to low simmer.
Add the Sour Cream and Cream Cheese if using. Add Butter. and remaining ingredients except salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate. Note: 2 tablespoons Olive Oil could be added in lieu of some of the butter.
Simmer for ten or fifteen minutes. Stir occasionally then taste. Parmesan is salty so should require very little additional salt. After sampling add salt and pepper to your taste.
This freezes well. If re-heating a little Milk may be used for the consistency of your liking.
The Topper -- I like cooked Shrimp or Scallops heaped on my Alfredo. Sauteed Chicken works also.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh Parmesan cheese, butter, and garlic will make a big difference.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. You can use a blend of cheeses, such as Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago, to create a more complex flavor.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk or half and half. However, the sauce will be thinner.
To make the sauce even richer, add a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese.
If you want a more garlicky flavor, add an extra clove or two of garlic.
Serve the sauce with your favorite pasta, vegetables, or chicken.
