Erm, not to be too much of a stickler or to deny the changing world
and all, but since the sauce on the fettucine special served at
Alfredo's in Rome, a.k.a. Fettucine Alfredo, consists of a little of
the salted, boiling water the pasta was cooked in, a special white
unsalted butter from a farm outside of Rome, grated Parmigiano, and
maybe some pepper, what are people putting into their Alfredo sauce,
real or otherwise?
I could see the advantage of a premade sauce in a food-service
setting, and have a pretty good idea what I'd put in it if I had to
do that, but I'm curious as to what other people do.
Maybe we should talk about "Caesar Salad Dressing" instead ;-) ?
Adamantius, who was once a professional Caesar Salad Dressing maker,
but only because we sold about 80 Caesar Salads an hour and didn't
have time to do it the "real" way...
