Fettucini noodles..apparently i've been spelling that word wrong all my life!

[Knarlz]

okies! those I know of

[Canelek]

This sounds good.

Dr K - I am surprised you didn't decipher the noodle code!

[noel]

I was expecting to find some kind of Feta cheese on the list of ingredients.

Yes spelling owns me for yrs now...

[Knarlz]

I made this the other night pretty much as listed.
It made a boat load using one package of noodles ( I happened to use linguini instead of fettuichni ) so 2 boxes would be way to much (inless you want to feed 8-10 people )
I thought it was okay but a little bit to sour-creamy flavoured.
If I make it again I will make some changes for personal preferences.

Instead of sour cream I might make a stripped down varient of alfrado sauce.
8 oz cream cheese melted/smashed into 8 oz half and half. Thats it. A couple minutes in a suace pan to turn into a sause. ( the other usual ingreedents are covered by the existing onion and garlic )

Make as first posted but add the "alfrado" suace instead of sour cream. Stir around then remove shrimp from sause before adding tomatoes and briefly set them aside.
add in tomatoes stir and when warmed up,
Salt and pepper sauce to taste. (taste first but even with shrimp and clam juice, I thought it needed salt, maybe to cut the sour cream taste)
then add the cooked noodles.
Mix well.
Plate noodles and plop the shrimp back on top. (they get lost and unevenly distributed if you try to mix in imho)

[Lalanae]

since we are correcting spelling.... its "alfredo"

[Canelek]

Alfredo sauce has cream cheese in it? I think I may be sick now. =(

You can use it to thicken it, but it is considered "cheating" by some. I have also seen recipes that use bacon grease to serve the same purpose (and have bacon in the Alfredo sauce mmmm).

[Canelek]

Whew. I couldn't remember what the ingredients were and Knarlz scared me.

I'll take bacon and 10 points.

Thats just one down and dirty version.
When I looked around it's quite odd how many different ways it is made.

Here's a more "classic" version.

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium low heat. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in parsley and serve.

I saw versions with, margerine, or olive oil or grease, or none vs butter.
2% milk, milk, half and half, vs. heavy cream.
garlic powder vs. garlic, amount varies.
differing amounts/ratios/ combinations of cream cheese, asiago, ramono vs. Parmesan
Usually no extra herbs or parsley.

In common they all have liquid and solidified bovine secretions and garlic.

Oh snap, I can play with alfredo!

Zamtuk's Roasted Black Pepper Alfredo (with measurements!)

2 qt. Heavy whipping cream
2 sticks butter
2 tsp white pepper
2 tbs black pepper
6 oz roasted garlic*
Fresh grated romano cheese

Throw all ingredients into a larger sauce pan and boil, but be careful. When cream boils it will rise up and boil over the pot, really fast. So you have to keep a close eye on it. After it is done boiling it, either (a) use it right away or (b) put in refridgerator or freezer and get it cold.

When ready to use, put desired amount into a large sautee pan and bring back up to a boil. When it is boiling throw your pasta of choice and whatever ingredients you want into it. Then add the fresh grated romano (not parmesan!) to the mix. The more romano the thicker the sauce, so use subjectively. Serve!

*Roasted Garlic

Take fresh whole cloves of garlic and cut the top 1/4 off. Then drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the open top liberally. Then take a good amount of salt and black pepper, perhaps some ground oregano for laughs throw it over the top of the cloves and bake at 350 for about an hour. The garlic should be soft enough to squeeze out of the skin.
