Alfredos no more...but.....

[BYC]

..............can you still get the Fettucine Alfredo like they used to make? My son loved that, and really wants to get it again.

 

[RMulieri]

I don't think so.

OOPS! Sorry! I thought I had put this in the restaurant forum. Duh.

 

[Lynne M]

I'll move this to Restaurants for you.

No Alfredo anymore but they do make a cream sauce with peas & prociutto that is very nice.

They use that same cream sauce in a number of pasta entrees and I agree that it is very good. I had the pasta with broccoli, zucchini, mushrooms and tomatoes and it was wonderful. I believe they also use the same sauce on a pasta entree that includes crabmeat.

I am guessing that they would be able to provide a bowl of pasta with that cream sauce (making it very much like Fettuccine Alfredo) if you ask.

I loved this dish.

Unfortunately, the real deal in Fettucine Alfredo is not a cream-based sauce (with or without peas)!

The authentic Alfredo is cheese and butter. No cream and no gloppy cream sauce.

We miss the real thing!

That's right Elizabeth. I went to Alfredo's of Rome web page and got the receipe several years ago. It is the best!!

Alfredo's of Rome the Original Fettuccine Alfredo

Source: 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 delis.

1 pound fresh, very thin fettuccine noodles
6 ounces butter, unsalted
6 ounces Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (aged 24 months), grated

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. Cheese lovers may want to sprinkle additional grated cheese on top.

Making me hungry. Had this back in 2002 and loved it, was really disappointed that Alfredo's was gone and we couldn't get that again. Ill have to try the recipe.

Oh I realize that...and I miss the real thing too. It was my favorite entree on Alfredo's menu. I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by the pasta with cream sauce that I had at Tutto, however, and thought it was a worthy alternative since the Fettuccine wasn't an option.

Elizabeth nailed it. I can't say for sure this was the "authentic" alfredo, but whatever it was it was delicious and our all time favorite WDW dish.

There were so many threads here stating that Alfredo's was not as good as Olive Tree or even Chef Boy-Ar-Dee. Respectfully, I disagree.

 

[ElizabethB]

Micca -- I agree too. We loved Alfredo's so much we haven't been able to bring ourselves to try the new place. I have no idea why people criticized it so much on these boards. We miss it!!!

We knew the wine director and several others there well, as we dined there whenever we could. And, there was a photo of Orson Welles enjoying pasta at the Alfredo's in Rome may years ago, which hung on the wall in the lobby. Dh loved to see it. A lucky person on these boards ended up with it when the restaurant closed!

In any event, I've heard good things about Tutto. But, it is part of a big restaurant chain and is, I think, terribly overpriced for pasta.

We've switched to Bice at Portofino Bay Resort for Italian dining. It, too, is expensive, but the food and wine are outstanding.

My wife and I loved Alfredo's too. While we were in NYC last Thanksgiving Day we walked past Alfredo's and were sadden to see that Walt Disney World still remained on it's location banner.

We had a great dinner at WDW in 2006. We really miss it!!!!
