One restaurant I was at we made alfredo to order in a similar fashion to what Chrose descibed. IN a medium saute pan, start with about a half cup of heavy cream. season with s&p and fresh grated nutmeg and bring to rolling boil. Very quickly now, add your hot el dente pasta of choice, a good handful of romano/parm chz. and an egg yolk in the middle of the chz. When the cream comes back to boil, "spin" the yolk quickly through the chz. into the hot cream. It's perfect, though not the original alfredo which I understand was just chz. and butter. |
