That's typical of classical French cookery, certainly, but not
_necessarily_ the effect they're going for. It's an aesthetic
judgement call, not only for the flavor considerations, but the
effect of the pure white versus the slightly speckled. I don't mind
that somewhat rustic look, myself; in fact I prefer it.
However, for those who don't, white pepper is certainly a good option.
Adamantius, thinking Alfredo should be a very thin coating on a
moderate-sized portion of very good, eggy pasta, and eaten probably
no more than twice a year...
