Default Alfredo Sauce Question

Aloha,

No, I'm NOT making stroganoff.... I want to make Alfredo Sauce, but I don't
have fresh Parm - I have fresh Pecorino Romano (sp?). Can I use that
instead or will that be too salty? Anyone have any ideas?

I say give it a shot. If it's awful, chuck it, if it's great lend your name
to it and become famous.

It will taste a bit stronger, but it will be fine.

I use a 50/50 blend and it tastes great. Do use a sweet butter though.

I will taste different but should be fine. I often use asiago and like it
quite well. It is a little milder and helps the flavor of the cream come
through.

I like using the 2 and 3 (fresh) cheese blends these days.
Saves a lot 'o dough for me because I used to blend them
myself.

IDIOT!

From the original restaurant.

http://www.ristorantealfredo1907.com/paginainiziale.htm

The recipe Fettuccine Alfredo
For 4 servings

250 g thin egg fettuccine
150 g unsalted butter
150 g Parmesan cheese

Freshly made noodles are dropped into boiling water and taken out as soon as
they rise to the top - fresh pasta does not have to be boiled for as long as
the packaged kind. From here on, the preparation is all done at the table.
The unsalted butter is placedon a hot, oval serving plate where you have put
a bit of water used to cook pasta. The fettuccine is poured on top, and the
finely grated Parmesan is then sifted all over the pasta.

Sheesh, you'd expect a proclaimed "Good Gourmet" to know better. Yes,
one can make a lovely cream and cheese sauce for pasta:

Fettucini Alla Panna

˝ C. butter (not margarine)
3 cloves garlic, minced
˝ t. black pepper
˝ t. sweet basil
˝ C. flour
2 C. parmesan cheese, grated
16 oz. heavy whipping cream
16 oz. "half & half"
12 oz. fettucini noodles, cooked

Gently heat cream and "half & half" in saucepan over medium heat. In
large kettle, melt butter, add garlic and saute for one minute. Slowly
add spices and cheese, stirring, until well mixed. Add flour, also
stirring, cook for a few minutes. Slowly add cream mixture, stirring
well after each addition, until sauce is thick and bubbly. Toss with
hot fettucini.

but this has nothing to do with "Fettucini Alfredo"...

I always add a little nutmeg to my sauce...it makes it sweeter and richer
tasting.

Bzzzzt.
Nope.
You're wrong.

Alfredo is NOT a cream sauce.
It is nothing but cheese and butter.
Butter and cheese.
NO CREAM.

Anything with cream sauce might be accurately called "Alfredo Style",
but the real thing, invented in Rome and served at "Alfredo, The
Original of Rome" is nothing but egg noodles, butter and parmagiano
reggiano cheese.

If you add cream, change the cheese, serve it with ziti,
whatever---it's not alfredo.

Real alfredo is nearly impossible to make here in the U.S. because our
butter has less butter fat in it than that in Europe. Even the Danish
butter and Plugra brands they sell here are only slightly fattier than
"typical" U.S. butter.

(giggling) Alfredo probably didn't have any cream when he made his
first pasta dish.

Methinks calling yourself the good gourmet was a bit premature. No such
thing, Fred.

Merely a dish of fetuccine, some boiling water, butter and cheese. It
was never a sauce.

Another one, Charlie. Get out the net!!!

I prefer Romano over Parmesean in any dish. Go for it!

Thanks for all of the suggestions; we're having Alfredo tomorrow night -
with the Romano. I may get creative and throw some grilled chicken breasts
into the mix. I will probably do some sort of broccoli side dish served
with the ever-popular garlic bread.

Thanks so much!
